Could you live in the coldest place on Earth

[hollydolly]

More to the point, would you want to ? The idea of living in this kind of weather literally gives my o/h the heeby jeebies ... he shudders at the thought, and can't understand it at all.. whereas I'm from the north, and I wouldn't mind living in such a cold place.. as long as I have all the necessary equipment for warmth...

brrrrrr

 

[PamfromTx]

Don't think so, I'm too cold natured.

 

[Mike]

You would acclimatise quickly!

I was in the Falkland Islands for a couple of years,
the temperature got down to -36C on some days,
although it isn't -60, it doesn't matter, after a week
you get used to it and stay in as much as possible.

Could you live in the coldest place on Earth​

As long as the TV worked OK, and there was always a plentiful supply of fuel for heating, and Sainsburys delivered food regularly, and I had a nice lady to snuggle up to...............................well, I'd give it serious thought.

no..lol...there's no Sainsbo....much less delivery , and you have to go and get your own fuel for heating....

Did you know that most people can't turn their car engines off even when the car is parked up.. for fear the fuel and batteries freeze.. and they will within 30 minutes..

I've changed me mind then.

No! I am originally from Louisiana but spent more of my life in Florida, and I used to think our winters were cold. As a kid I remember one morning when the birdbath froze over, I could not believe that cold. Now I live in Northern Utah where its even colder, but no where near -60 C!

Not far from here is a place, Peter Sinks, where temperatures do get quite cold, as low as -56 C, but I stay away from there, in winter anyway. https://climate.usu.edu/PeterSinks/index.php

 

[Warrigal]

Not likely. I don't want to live any place where there is even a morning frost.

Could I live in the coldest place on earth...?

No, not easily. The closer to the equator you park me, the happier I'd be.

 

[RadishRose]

While I prefer cold to hot, that's way too cold so my answer would be no. Not easily anyway.

 

[drifter]

No way, Jose.

 

[peppermint]

No Way.....Never ever liked cold weather....

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

I would love it. I hate the heat.

 

[Chet]

I would try it for a while just for the experience but not permanently. I'm an outdoor type and get cabin fever easily. The coldest it ever was here was -20 F for a day or two. My car barely started and never really warmed up. I once went ice fishing at -3 F, again just to see what it was like. The whole froze over almost immediately. I lasted about 10 minutes.

 

[PamfromTx]

OMG, I felt chills while watching that clip! I kid you not. I am extremely cold natured and so is hubby.

 

[PamfromTx]

I'm sending you an airline ticket, money for a hotel, @Ruth n Jersey . Enjoy your trip.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

@PamfromTx, thank you. Does that include a down payment on an igloo?

 

[PamfromTx]

@PamfromTx, thank you. Does that include a down payment on an igloo?

No, I can't afford to pay for an igloo! lol But, I can book a hotel room for you ~ a week's stay at a Motel 6. lol

 

[debodun]

Even though I can take cold better than heat, I wouldn't want to live in an Antarctic research station.

Don't pee outdoors!!

 

[SmoothSeas]

Don't pee outdoors!!

sage advice...

 

[Tish]

Sounds a tad bit too cold for me.

 

[moviequeen1]

I live in area where it gets bone chilling cold during winter especially with the winds coming off Lake Erie. In the past I have taken walks when the windchill was -10,all bundled up wearing long underwear ,layered clothing
I'll take a pass at -60

 

[Murrmurr]

I could but I wouldn't want to. It takes a lot of work just to get out and about. But mosquitoes, cockroaches, rats and other common vermin aren't a problem. No snakes or spiders, probably. No homeless cats and dogs.
