Fun fact:
Oymyakon, Russia
That is consider the coldest inhabited place in the world. In Oymyakon, the winter temperatures are known to average -58 F (-50C). Water freezes at 32 F. About 500 people live in the area. And while many Michiganders treasure having remote start to warm their cars, those in Oymyakon have to run their cars 24/7 to make sure the batteries do not die. The community earned the title in 1933, when a temperature of -90 F was recorded. The city beat its own record in 2013, when a -98 F temperature was recorded. Now that’s cold.
