Couple of days ago, here in chicago the temperature dropped down to -31c (about -11F) (feels like temperature). I happened to be outside for couple of hours and it was real pain. After coming back home, i started reading about coldest places in the world. I was shocked to learn about "Yakutsk", coldest city in the world, even by siberian standards. Couple of chiling points about Yakutsk.
- Temperature drops down to -45c to -55c during the winter (Jan-march).
- You are warned not to wear eye-glasses when you walk,since when you try to remove it,your flesh will come with the glass.
- Day-to-day work is happening as usual until drops below -55c (kids can take leave if the temp drops below 55c).
- Office workers usually leave the car "on" for hours, to avoid car starting problems.
