New menu item for the local McDonalds there...a JEEEZE-BRRRRRgur.
Rumor has it, that the scientist’s have realized their mistake. They had the thermometers upside down.
oy!my akon thermometer!
The short story “To Build a Fire” always comes to mind when I hear about cold like this. In the story, the sole character knows it’s cold when his spit freezes and crackles in mid air.
For reference, metallic mercury freezes at -40C/F

global warming’s a bitch, ain’t it
Makes your place seem semi-tropical.
Well of course you're aching, you're got frost bite big time.
Siberia?
I wonder if that’s where that Russian girl that was going to come marry me went to work? She signed a contract with a travel agent. Had to have her parents borrow against their house and still needed more money.
I suggested a video call after which I’d hire a Russian lawyer of my choosing to be my agent and she could meet with him.
Rather than do that, she chose to go work in the “far north where they didn’t have internet for a year” in order to pay for her travel to me.
I’ve been googling to find info on the Polar cap ice. Surely, it must be expanding with all this cold weather.
I type in polar ice 2018 and get info mainly about it melting. Even though I type in January, 2018, I get propaganda about climate change and all the usual suspects dating back a few years. Anyone else having the same problem. Google is getting more and more like Orwellian Ingsoc, or Newspeak.
Can you get away from liberals by living in a place that cold?
The evening lows during the battle of Stalingrad were around -40c.
Northern Europe and Asia is just COLD.

Eastern Jewish settlement?
I just typed these very words in a Google search:
“Yes, north polar ice is increasing dramatically in 2018.”
To be honest I don’t know one way or another. But the Google search had as its number one answer an article from September 19, 2017!
The fourth Google entry was an article from the Guardian dated August, 21, 2016 stating “Next year, or the year after, the Arctic will be free of ice.” Nothing about now.
What gives? Is it bias or some sort of glitch? Is it that no one knows about the extent of polar ice right now? I doubt it.
