Winter weather grips U.S.
Here are some of our favorites:
You could warm up in Siberia!
Technically, that's true.
That's because Siberia is huge. As temperatures dropped to unbelievable
lows in much of U.S., it did get colder than the Russian city of
Tobolsk in Siberia. But when you think of Siberia, you probably imagine
the more brutal, bitter, biting cold of a place like Dzalinda, where
temperatures have been hanging out at about minus 55 degrees Monday and
Tuesday. Amazingly, with wind chill, parts of the northern U.S. felt
that low Tuesday.
It's colder than the surface of Mars!
"The chill is running so
deep in (Minnesota) that it's not only colder than in the lands above
the Arctic Circle, it's actually colder than some of the daily
temperatures on Mars -- you know, the planet 78 million miles further
from the Sun on average," the Smithsonian wrote in a blog.
Mars has a lot of different temperatures and a different environment, of course. It gets as low as 225 degrees below zero, according to NASA.
It's warmer in Sochi, Russia, than Atlanta!
That's true. And, to
those of us who live in the A-T-L, completely unacceptable. Do you see
our city trying to host the Olympics? The winter ones, that is.
An escaped jail inmate turned himself in to warm up!
Yup, according to CNN affiliate WLEX in Lexington, Kentucky.
Central Park broke a record!
Indeed. New York's
Central Park has never been this cold -- on this date. It has, however,
been colder on other dates. The lowest ever: 15 below zero in 1934.
OK, your turn. What do you got?
