Think You've Got It Cold? Try Yakutsk, Siberia

From the Jan. 27, 2014, Yahoo! News. That's Yakutsk, Russia, as in 3,100 miles east of Moscow. Temperatures recently have been a brisk -49 degrees and today it was predicted at a "balmy" -42. And, that is not the coldest temperature ever recorded there. It once got to -83; real eyeball freezing weather!! They also get something called freezing fog.

It is located on the Lena River, 280 miles south of the Arctic Circle.

Not to worry though. Summers are short, hot and mosquito-filled.
