Mongolia is in the grip of one of its most extreme winters on record, according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), with temperatures forecast to plunge to -50 °C (-58 °F). The severe cold has killed more than 500 camels in the central region, threatening livestock and leaving many herder families vulnerable.
The extreme weather, called dzud, threatens the livelihoods and health of thousands of Mongolian herders residing in the country's remote provinces.
As a pre-emptive action, the Mongolian Red Cross Society (MRCS) has sent financial assistance and livestock nutrition kits in target areas to help them in meeting their needs, as well as to save their livestock-- the main source of livelihoods for Mongolians.

Meanwhile the northeast U.S. seems to be having a rather mild winter, with only one day since winter started where the temps did not reach above 30.
Little of anything - water, heat, cold - is ever lost. Things just shift around and one difference in one direction is always offset somewhere else by a shift in the opposite direction.
Not to worry, though. In a few short months, it will summer again in the Gobi with 110 degree highs.
