Answer:

Buffalo, NY

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between Fahrenheit and Celsius is given as;

(32°F − 32) × 5/9 = °C

Buffalo, NY = - 29∘C

Anchorage, AL = 19∘F

Upon converting the temperature in Anchorage to Celsius;

Temperature in anchorage = -7.22222∘C

Between -7.222∘C and - 29∘C, -29∘C is colder hence the answer is Buffalo, NY
