 ;D:

So you think you're cold? How does 88 below zero sound?

Oymyakon, Russia — already considered the world's coldest permanently inhabited town — sank to a mind-numbing 88 degrees below zero on Tuesday.

That's even colder than the average temperature on Mars, which is 80 below zero, according to Space.com.

Amazingly, 88 below isn't even the record low temperature in this remote, diamond-rich Russian region of Yakutia, a part of Siberia.

Residents there took the cold in stride as evidenced by social media images of cold-weather selfies and stories about stunts in the extreme temperatures, the Associated Press said. Women posted pictures of frozen eyelashes, while Yakutia Media published a photo of Chinese students who got undressed to take a plunge in a thermal spring.
