Just wondering if the heating can cope with that coldness.
Some of the poorer people have little heaters in a room they share and that is it. They also have rugs all over the walls for extra insulation. If you stay with a poor family, you can also expect the ice cream to be on the windowsill, they just reach outside to get it...RegMolehusband said:
Has anyone noticed that the goods for sale at all those stores seem to be a variety of frozen fish stood upright?The middle box seems to contain what looks like a Pike?
I presume when it's that cold there is no need for chillers or a freezer!,

I appreciate I was stating the bleeding obvious, but my point was I wonder if that is how they display the fish ( if they are fish? ) for sale!Sorry if I am not up to your elite standards, I was just genuinely curious!

I am cool with it! did you see what I did there, it's beacuse I am a simple minded village idiot you see! But you already pointed that out! Any way it seems they store all the fish and meat that way in the Yakutsk Market!

First year we went to Saariselka it dipped to -47 one night.
The locals were taking about hearing the logs that made up their homes cracking in the cold. We were moaning about the bottle of Port that had frozen in my back pack having walked up to the top of the mountain to spend the night watching the lights.
First and only time I have formed ice on eyelashes and brows!

We'd be in a mess here in the UK if it got to that level I bet.
Can you imagine the news readers!!'We are expecting a catastrophic weather explosion with temperatures plummeting down to minus 40°c, there is a high level red one alert over the entire country, the windchill factor could wipe out most of the population, Chester council have run out of salt.'
