Yes, Lexington was by far the coldest National I have experienced. We were all bundled up sitting in the bleachers, having dogs at our feet to keep them warm. I remember an All Breed in Flagstaff that was kinda chilly. We were caught by surprise as we expected it to be warm-er and did not bring heavier clothes. Everyone hit the booths to find some sweat shirts. When I got there only one was left. It was one that no one wanted. It had a huge star in front with a GSD head and next to it said in bold red "THE ENFORCER". I took it, it was a necessity as far as I was concerned. Still have it but only wear it at home.
