You Minnesota guys think you are tough - it's minus 95 Farenheit (minus 70 Celsius) in Siberia now.

>>Russians freeze in -70C
Moscow: Much of Russia spent Orthodox Christmas yesterday in
the grip of an Arctic cold snap that has brought the lowest
temperatures in 30 years to parts of Siberia and left power services
close to failure (Giles Whittell writes).

A temperature of -70C, exceptional even by polar standards, was
recorded last week in the Kemerovo region, 1,000 miles east of the
Urals, while the industrial city of Krasnoyarsk endured its fifth
consecutive day in which temperatures fell to -50C.

Residents in towns along the Trans-Siberian Railway and in the
Altai region to the south were urged not to go out unless absolutely
necessary.

In Moscow, 100 people have died, despite relatively mild weather.
Such deaths are often linked to excessive drinking followed by
hypothermia after a night in the snow.<<
