Don't ask why I know this off the top of my head but you aren't allowed to purchase alcohol in the city. -33 and you can't even go to a bar.
"population was 4,683 at the 2000 census, with an estimated population of 3,982 in 2007"
"Barrow, like many communities in Alaska, has enacted a "damp" law prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages, but allows for import, possession and consumption.[8]"
Yeah, that's pretty cold but it was actually AS cold in places sounding much less remote / arctic. Monday 24 Jan temps around sunrise:
Albany NY: -19
Glens Falls NY: -30
Lake Placid NY: -35
Granted the -30 temps were record-breaking cold for the day, but NY was in a serious deep freeze Sunday - Tuesday Morning!
why do people subject themselves to 100 days of misery every year??
move out west.
Whatever, whatever.
I have run in temps that cold dozens of times, if not hundreds.

Did that. Moved back.
I like four seasons. Don't like illegal Mexicans wrecking into my wife and not paying anything. Don't like 120 degree days.
is it worth a trip to the Peg to skate on the Red River? it looks like a lot of fun...
It's 34 degrees Fahrenheit in Base Arturo, Antarctica.
It's global warming.
HAH! -38 in Saranac Lake with a wind chill of -61 (in the Adirondaks of NY)

I don't think he meant Montana or Alaska. I think he meant the other west -- south.
I believe Yakutsk, Russia is the coldest permanently inhabited city in the world (pop. 210,000). The high temperature next Monday is supposed to be -44F. On January 9, the high temp was -51F. That's quite brisk.
