Exposed skin hurts. It feels tight. Your eyes feel gritty from the moisture freezing. Your sinuses freeze when you breathe in. The snot thaws once you go inside. Without heated clothes, you just kinda realize you're becoming hypothermic, even though you didn't quite notice it. If you wear glasses, they squeak as they contact from the cold. They frost over when you go back inside. (Outside, at those temps, there isn't enough moisture in the air for frost to form on them.) If you have to talk, your lungs burn. And all of that on a still day. If the wind is blowing, it's psychological torture in addition to the pain you can't escape.

And I've only been out in -20 to -30 Fahrenheit. That place is more than twice as cold.

I've experienced -45F (-43C), But there was no wind. I also experienced -30F (-35C), with a strong wind. I'll take -45 with no wind, by a wide margin.

Coldest? You should have met my ex when I was stuck in traffic and 3mins late to pick her up.

I dunno when I lived there the coldest it ever got was -23 in the mid 90s that I can remember. I think -26 with wind-chill. I can only imagine what twice that would look like. My nostrils froze in that weather.

i bet its pretty chilly

Honestly, it looks like it's warmer than some of the midwinter days we get here in Winnipeg!

Mt Washington in New Hampshire pretty frequently hits coldest on Earth status.

Longyearbyen Svalbard Is more northern and 30 times bigger. Yakutsk Siberia is colder.

Whos' carrying the rifle!

First time I've ever seen that alien language written anywhere besides Futurama lol

Antarctica is the coldest place on earth by a large margin. There are more northern cities than that one.

That's only two degrees (C) away from double-freezing.

Colder than the average temperature on Mars

Yikes🥶

Prove it.

FFS no.

FTFA:

-98c is a theoretical temp that climate scientists believe MAY be possible there.

The lowest actual temp recorded on Dome Argus is -82.5c.

The lowest actual temp ever recorded on Earth is -93.2c, and wasn't on Dome Argus, it was on the plain between Argus and another dome.

Seriously, this is all spelled out in the actual wikipedia page you linked. I cannot even.

Wtf is 38 picokelvin.

In a lab

But can I put my dick in it?

What even happens at that temperature, like if I go to take a piss outdoors does it freeze my urethra?

Extremes of the Earth is a cool wiki hole to go down.

The cost of cooling a DC is orders of magnitude less than the cost of operating a DC in quite literally the most inhospitable & inaccessible place on earth that has zero extant infrastructure.

To mark the occasion, the researchers that were on station at the time went out and had a small game of soccer. 

(I’m not kidding, there’s photos of it floating around)

Hard to get there

Yeah but it’s a dry cold

Yeah, I know some folks who love the cold(not me), but that's way too crazy.

The survival of individuals in the extreme cold has always been fascinating to me. I live in a temperate and mild environment, New York state, where we only see a few days a year with low temperatures below 0F. Even then, productivity and industry slows down at those temperatures. In other regions of the US, the same could be said at temperatures at or around freezing. It's interesting to see the effects on humans the further you move from 60F~70F weather, in both directions (hotter and colder).

Average is -50°C. Schools close when the temp gets to -58°C. The lowest temperature is officially -67.7°C, and unofficially -71.2°C.

It's all relative. The people from this town in Russia would absolutely melt in Florida

I've lived in a very cold my place my whole life but once vacationed in Florida while it was in the low 60's and for some reason I was FREEZING. Something about being cold in a place that's supposed to be warm just hits

No thanks, winter in Australia is cold enough for me

Nah… it’s missing the hot coals to walk on that somehow also defy the extreme cold.

I have a sock like this at room temp

That video was pretty sad where the kid coming home from school peed his pants and got frozen in place:( I don't know what you can do, though, when it's too cold to pee outside your pants. I guess you get a warm feeling, but it's fleeting, like when your cellmate says you have beautiful eyes.

Yeah, not enough people talk about the drop bears.

Hey I’m from there
