-55C = -67F, per the online converter.

So the record low in Colorado is 6 degrees different than the record low there.

Especially if they’re the kind the champ cut in 1964 when he disgraced himself and lost the International Farting Contest, which was held at Maple Leaf Stadium in Toronto.

... thats a lot of motion. surprising
There was a story a couple of years ago about a watch that was buried in a container at the North Pole by some grandson or the like of an explorer and and about five years later, was found by a Danish or Swedish boy on a beach.

the nature of the incident, and the prolonged loss of power, the station cannot now return to normal operation in the short or medium term. Yet they never say what caused the power loss.
You KNOW what that means, right?

The coldest official temperate in Colorado was -61. According to the Wikipedia, that was in 1985 at Maybell, elevation 5992 ft, population 70, in northwest Colorado. I would have expected the summit of Pikes Peak or such.

What. I just heard on the news the other day that all the ice was melting in Antarctica and all the penguins were migrating to New Jersey. Have one of the “scientist” run outside and flag down one of those Greenpeace boats for a ride to someplace warmer like Iraq or Syria.

Prayers up for them. I had a close friend of mine from college spend a summer at the south pole. He was a native Canadian and told me when he got back, “Even Canadians have limits!” He doesn’t bitch about the Florida heat anymore.

Fraser was the coldest spot in the nation many times until they shut down the weather station. There are no weather stations on mountain tops or there would be many more records. Colorado's high wind record of 147 MPH happens south of Boulder on Table Mesa. Must have been a weather station there.
One night the official low at Fraser was -60degrees. The unofficial temperature not far away form there was -70 degrees.
