Think we’re having a brutal winter? Winter temperatures in Oymyakon, Russia, average minus 50 C ( minus 58 F). The remote village is generally considered the coldest inhabited area on Earth. Oymyakon is a two-day drive from Yakutsk, the regional capital which has the lowest winter temperatures of any city in the world.

You might laugh at this, but where I live (not nearly as cold as these places - not even close) during the Christmas holidays for example the outdoors or an unheated garage can serve as an extra refrigerator to keep food and drinks cold!

And although as I said we are never as cold as Siberia, most of these are scenes that could have been taken where I live at some point in winter. Probably in many parts of the northern US as well.

We store food outside in our garage during winter to avoid spoilage. Keeps the kitchen clean IMO.
