Well Carbon Dioxide snow would be first, at a bit below -78.5 deg C.


Has that ever been seen in Antarctica? I believe the lowest temperatures
recorded there aren't too far away from that value.

From a quick search, the lowest ever recorded temperature was
-129°F/-89.4°C at Vostok, Antarctica, on July 21, 1983. Cold enough for
CO2 snow!
