The weather is changing again — a good time to look at some of the insanely cold places where people actually live. The citizens of places like Verkhoyansk and Yakutsk (both in Russia) live very different lives from you or me, at least in the winter. Drivers in those cities often leave their cars idling outside in the parking lot for hours while they shop and run errands, and they're familiar with the intricacies of reheating frozen axle grease with a blow torch.
The coldest temperature ever recorded was minus 128.6 degrees F in at the Russian research station in Vostok, Antarctica, on July 21, 1983. While none of these towns or cities gets that cold, some get frighteningly close to it. Here are seven of the coldest places in the world to live. (Text: Shea Gunther)

What?? Edmonton wasn't listed here. It's the northernmost North American city with a metropolitan population over one million.
Hmm Fairbanks Alaska got down to minus 40 degrees the middle of last month. Now that's cold.
WE stopped early this winter talking about it snowing again today! To save words now, we only talk about it not snowing today! It saves allot of useless talk! Hi
Now if we could ever get CH7 to consider us as being in Maryland & not WV or PA, we might get some good weather info & likely need tourists for winter sports!
Well, I'm certainly not planning on ever moving to Russia! lol
