A day ago, I posted about how it increasingly seems like we live in Antarctica or Iceland because of the frigid temperatures here. (The thermometer on the Vue registered 4 degrees this morning.)
Well, my brother pointed out that Iceland actually has a milder climate than places of similar latitude. And I knew (from a recent story I wrote on scientists studying bugs in Antarctica) that it's summer in Antarctica and the area might be experiencing some of its warmer temps now. So I will amend my post.
It seems like we suddenly live in Ulan Bator, Mongolia (above) or Yakutsk, Russia.
From wikepedia:
Ulan Bator is the coldest national capital in the world, with an average annual temperature of 29.7°F.
Yakutsk is one of the coldest cities on earth, with January temperatures averaging -45°F.
(I love learning new stuff because of this silly blog.)

Speaking of Mongilia, you and Pat need to try out BD's Mongolian Barbeque. I absolutely LOVE that place. Quite possibly one of my favorite restaurants of all time. They are all over the place in Michigan, including Dearborn!

Mmmmm, so good! It's making my mouth water just thinking about it!
Sadly, southwest Ohio has no Mongolian BBQ. :(
Yay for you that one is a-comin'!
I used to live in Ulan Bator, It was freezing cold and the food was terrible. You might find this interesting:
