What does -50 degrees look like?

"In Yakutia — a region of 1 million people about 3,300 miles east of Moscow — students routinely go to school even in minus 40 degrees. But school was canceled Tuesday throughout the region and police ordered parents to keep their children inside."

"In the village of Oymyakon, one of the coldest inhabited places on earth, state-owned Russian television showed the mercury falling to the bottom of a thermometer that was only set up to measure down to minus 50 degrees. In 2013, Oymyakon recorded an all-time low of minus 71 degrees Celsius (minus 98 Fahrenheit)."

AccuWeather: "Autumnlike Chill Sets Records in Central US, South"

"A summertime version of the polar vortex will continue to set record low temperatures in the Plains, Midwest and South this week. Autumnlike chill has also extended into the Appalachians, while the air mass has cooled and dried much of the I-95 corridor."

"The air will feel refreshing to some people but downright chilly and autumnlike to others."

 

How is the weather by your neck of the woods?
