The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

Good question.
For fun, Google Verkhoyansk, Russia. Interesting history.

The coldest I ever saw was -49F back in the eighties. It had warmed up to about-20 when I went to check my beaver traps. I stepped in the middle of a runway and broke through the ice and went in up to my chest. That was one mad 500 yard dash through 2 feet of snow to get to my vehicle. That kind of cold can kill you quick.

I would imagine at -50F it can't hold a whole lot because it's frozen lol.

They only have about 3 hours of daylight, not that I would want to do anything outside.
