The first frost hit the Verkhoyansk, the coldest town on Earth
Further, please, see the current Yakutia Weather Map:
Yakutia Weather Map, as of Nov. 10, 2009.

I need to make clarification. According to my personal daily observation, Verkhoyansk keeps the position of the coldest town in Yakutia, Siberia/Russia. It is usually colder than in Oymyakon. Besides, you have to know, that Oymyakon, the well-known as the Pole of Cold, is not a town or city. It is a little village. So it can be considered as the coldest town on Earth at all. Verkhoyansk has the official status of town.
Not real cold, it says it only feels like -39!!
I like these kind of precision between the two famous places. Population: 1400 vs 500, more or less, isn’t it?
I have seen that this past night
Korkodon River: – 42ºC
Sejmchan: -41ºC
Tompo: -40ºC
Verhojansk: -40ºC
and
Ojmjakon: -38ºC
Ohh … -40C, I can not imagine it … !

Let’s spread the word about Amazing Cold together
Yeah, this is interesting to follow weather changes. Right now, Verkhoyansk has -39C, but Oymyakon is already at -43C. Yesterday, it was opposite different
-45ºC today in Oymyakon?
-45ºC in Korkodon River?
-44ºC in Sejmchan?
brrrrrrrrr ….
Where do you check this weather changes? At maps.mail.ru?
I am pleased with the precision of measurement both of temperature and population!
I have been checking periodically, weather changes in both Oymyakon and Verkhoyansk, and founded that from at least 10 days until now Verkhoyansk has been 8 to 10° C colder than Oymyakon, I would think that whaen speaking about mean low temperature Verkhoyansk get the big prize hands down (between these two)…
Right, Claude. Verkhoyansk is much colder
Oymyakon is easy to get and many people visited that place. That’s why it is more popular than Verkhoyansk 
I would prefer to go to Verkhoyansk.
Me too. Verkhoyansk is much more unaccessible, as it is 600 km far from Yakutsk and from Oymyakon, lost between the mountains, very isolated. The only thing that worries me is that it must rely on tourism sooner or later, as the population is becoming fewer year after year, I don’t know if this is caused by emigration or by negative demographic growth…Right now they both register -47°C, this is getting interesting…
Hehe. Not now. Right at the moment Verkhoyanks keeps -47C. Oymyakon down to -36C
Actually it is easy for me to get to Verkhoyansk. There are 3 or 4 direct flights from Yakutsk to Verkhoyansk. To Oymyakon I need to find other passengers for going to Oymyakon by ground
