That’s what I see on my way home in the evening. In the last Friday evening, Dec. 4, 2009, we had -41ºC and fog and no winds. So the frost was almost dry and burning, and my quickly frozen camera was slow to take pictures. Many unfocused shots were just deleted. See the left pics.
That’s a X-mas tree on the Ordzhanikidze Sq. No garlands and decorations yet. We are promised to see its finished beauty on Dec. 9, 2009. Hope it will be so. (more…)
Renato, I’ve read the following news from The Associated Press on Nov. 22, 2009. Is it true? Confused with all these F/C degrees. Can you give clearification?
FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) – It’s been bitter cold in Bettles, a small village 200 miles north of Fairbanks.
The village in the foothills of the Brooks Range recorded a new record low temperature of 47 degrees below zero on Saturday. It was the fifth day in a row a new record low was set in the town, and the sixth day in a row that the temperature was more than 40 below zero. (more…)
The first frost hit the Verkhoyansk, the coldest town on Earth
Further, please, see the current Yakutia Weather Map:

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.
That’s how cold it can be in Alaska!!! Fantastic!!!
Just take a look at a Flickr resident patcaribou‘s photo album!
