You might think you're accustomed to frigid air and blustery winds, but the average winter day has nothing on the coldest day ever recorded, which was -144 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature was recorded in Antarctica during a span of research between 2004 and 2016. Just a few breaths of air at that temperature would induce hemorrhaging in your lungs and kill you.
It's hard to imagine just how extreme that cold must be! It puts our winter weather into perspective. If you have any more fascinating weather records or stories, I'd love to hear about them!
