Residents in Yakutia are normally used to the freezing conditions, with students routinely going to school even when temperatures are -40 degrees Celsius.
However, Tuesday's blistering cold resulted in schools being cancelled throughout the region, reported AP. Parents were also ordered by the police to keep their children indoors.

But this article is fake news. Everyone who believes in science knows that since glowbull warming is already proven and already accepted by the vast majority of real scientists, that these temperatures are simply not possible

Back in the late 60’s or early 70’s, I experienced -58, -59 and -60 F in northern Wisconsin for three days in a row and can tell you at those temperatures it was damn cold. Hot water Pipes froze INSIDE the house. House was well built and well insulated, had a good furnace, etc. It was just plain DAMN COLD. We survived but prefer to avoid ever seeing those temps again.
Ain’t nature grand?
Makes one wonder how the eyes don’t get instantly frozen....the water toss made me grateful to not live there.
“Oh, show me around your snow-peaked mountains way down south
Take me to your daddy’s farm
Let me hear your balalaika’s ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm
I’m back in the U.S.S.R.
Hey you don’t know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.”
The snow turns yellow?
