Cold? You want COLD?

The coldest of the cold where people live year round is the Russian village of Oymyakon:

The town’s official measurement recorded the temperature at minus-74 Fahrenheit this week, though a new digital thermometer installed in town for all to see, part of the town’s reputation for frigid temperatures, broke as it registered minus-80 degrees on Sunday. According to the Siberian Times, some residents’ own measurements had shown the temperature below minus-88 degrees, approaching a former record from the 1930s.
The village recorded an all-time low of minus-98 degrees Fahrenheit in 2013.
