Couldn't find daily historical data on Indianapolis. Only monthly averages, and those provide very little insight and can be very misleading.

It used to aggravate me dearly when people in Jersey bit*ed how cold it is.
And it was 50'F. PLUS 50 !!!

And they actually meant it


Anecdotally, I haven't heard a single complaint about the cold in Montana last winter...

I'm sure there's plenty places that are real COLD in Canada.

Can you recommend few that would be within driving distance (2,000 - 3,000 km) from the US border in Montana ? Though, for something extraordinary, I'm sure a 10,000 km trip could be made...

I've read about villages that are in the shadow of the mountain for several months of the year, though if memory serves correct they're like that only in winter.

Can you think of some similar spots in your place ?

Even though there's no historical data, the averages do indeed look promising: Average low of -33 in January sure sounds extremely appealing.

Too bad you gotta fly there, might as well be Antarctica....

I like Old Crow in northern Yukon....super cold winter and a suprising warm summer (for 67N)
also Fort Simpson, NWT, same thing, with an even warmer summer, as warm as Edmonton.

Also Telegraph Creek, BC ...at about 57N ...in a very deep canyon ...in a shadow during winter...
in the spectacular “Grand Canyon of the Stikine”...with a january as cold as Winnipeg,
and a july average high about 75F ...Environment Canada used to have
climate normals (1941-1970) for a weather station there.

I think Prudhoe Bay, AK would be perfect for the OP. It is on American soil and so no visa required and you can drive there

No joke, is this guy serious? Let's see, where can I find the most miserable, uninhabitable place in the U.S. because upstate New York, one of the worst places in the world, is apparently not horrible enough for me. Hmm....

You got it great buddy, everywhere you love is probably the cheapest place to live because us humans prefer nice weather, i.e. warm all of the time, no snow, hardly any rain, and SUN!

Ha Ha. Only a Yank from the North East US could be this crazy. Some also move to South Florida and say "summers aren't so bad here", when really they can't afford to keep two homes.

Embarrass, MN usually has the coldest weather in the lower 48.

I used to live just south of there, and was accustomed to the T going below -30 several times per winter.

Duluth is a little warmer due to being on the lake; International Falls is a little warmer because it's not in a valley.

It's also a really nice area in which to live. Tower and Ely also get similar temperatures.

I've always thought that when it comes time to commit suicide I'll just drive up to that area (the East Range) in the heart of winter and drive down one of the gravel roads to nowhere, get very drunk, and peacefully freeze to death. Easily doable - several people do it each year by accident.
