daily max: -37,6°C

So -40° is a very normal temperature over there at the end of November.

daily max: -45,5°
daily mean: -48,4°
daily min: -51,5°

Wow, might hit -80F by the weekend.

Now all we have to do is get it to move over the Pole, and head South to Texas. Nothing between the North Pole and Houston but barb wire fence and blades of grass.


Hopefully it modifies just enough to spare my pygmy date palms and orange trees, but remains cold enough for snow.
