That place sounds brutal, but humans have adapted!
Good thing we are going to spend hundreds of billions on preventing the temperature from rising a couple of degrees!
We live in the SoCal desert. Went out tonight and it was down to 60 degrees. I wore several layers and a thermal vest.
In the a.m. I put sweaters on my dogs if it’s below 50 degrees.
I wouldn’t mind taking some of that cold and snow off their hands.
Bad place to open an ice cream shop.
I bet there are no Jimmy Buffet fans there?

Far north, and well away from any body of water than might bring a warming current/wind. The kind of place you don’t visit without your Ton-Ton and a light saber, I think.
I bet there ain’t no stinking moslem scum living there.
How do locals deal with the extreme cold? “Russki chai, literally Russian tea, which is their word for vodka,” Chapple told the Weather Channel.
...
That’s also how Russians deal with extreme heat, and everything in between.
SPA 90-
That’s cold!
That was fun! B-r-r. Enjoyed the photography! Thank you!
I've been out in 65 below weather in Alaska. There is no words in the dictionary to explain the experience. It was so dry out in the snow, when I reached out to my truck door handle, a static shock (spark) about 2 inches long nearly knocked me down, from the door handle to my mitton.
I grew up in Montana. the coldest I have experienced is
-45 degrees..... when it gets that cold it hurts to breath. your snot from your nose freezes to your face and it is so cold there is no moisture the air.
For those who do not want to click through all of pictures.

I nominate Fort Dodge, Iowa.
