      Well, it doesn't feel as extreme when you grow up with it. I got to help build schools in Africa one summer, which was winter for them, and all of the locals were bundled up in coats and hats even though it was 80F. Brrrr... But even for people growing up in Siberia, I'm sure -40 and colder still feels dang cold lol.

      A few years back, I went to visit my wife's family in Ontario, in the winter, far north of Toronto. It was -40F. I never truly knew what cold was until then. On a warmer day of -20, we went for a little hike in the woods. My wife's cousin would intermittently remove her gloves to take pictures and I thought she was insane. I've also experienced 115F and I think I'd take the -40 over that. Haha

      Part of the problem with learning about the world is discernment through biases of people and how one person's experience has been might not be the same as someone else (and biases can be applied just as much in books as well as in a UA-cam video, because it's part of the human experience to develop biases for things). The best way someone can experience their own outlook on a country is visiting it themselves (and/or in some cases, living there for a while) while keeping other people's biases/experiences in the back of their mind.

      Its a common mistake people compare deep east winter temperatures with west or closer to equator direction countries in winter. Its not same. The key is humidity. Up north there is a lot less humidity and -60c doesnt feel like burning your skin off compared to winter in example Finland, UK, Estonia ect where humidity is much higher in winter. In those countries -30c or lower is worse than -60 in Yakutsk Siberia because dry cold weather is actually not that bad.

      You are thinking of Oymyakon, it’s a small village (500 people) in the same region, but it’s even colder than Yakutsk.
      In Yakutsk during January it will typically go down to -39.8C while in Oymyakon it goes down to -49.3C. The record cold in Yakutsk was -64.4C while in Oymyakon was -67.7C.
      In comparison the largest research station in Antarctica, McMurdo Station, only had a record cold of −50.6C and typically is −29.5C in August (winter).
      However still quite a ways warmer than Vostok station which has a record cold of −89.2C, and typically goes down to −71.5C in August (winter).

    Якуты очень устойчивы к холоду. Когда я был студентом в Сибири, то однажды вечером, когда температура была -42°C/-43.6°F (это в тех местах случалось очень редко) один наш студент-якут в одной лёгкой рубашке вышел наружу. Мы устроили танцы на первом этаже студенческого общежития, и внутри было довольно жарко с нашим отоплением и толпой танцующих. Ну, мы подумали что наш друг выйдет на несколько секунд чтобы остыть. Через пару минут мы забеспокоились, выглянули наружу но его нигде не было. Мы побежали наверх в наши комнаты за тёплой одеждой, потом долго искали его около общежития, потом подумали что он наверное уже незаметно вернулся пока мы бегали искали его по окрестностям. Он таки пришёл сам минут через 40 после выхода на мороз. Сказал что гулял по университетскому парку, ему стало холодно и поэтому он вернулся :) Абсолютно никаких последствий. Большинство землян просто замёрзли бы насмерть или по крайней мере получили бы обморожения или воспаление лёгких.

My first year down here the heat was unbearable, and now I can easily tolerate being outside all day in the summer, and I don't handle the cold as well as I used to.

    I love how the people bring the warmth!! Everyone seems so kindhearted and brimming with playfulness! I would go crazy if I had to be inside all day, but I'm relieved you have been able to adapt and power through!! The air feels so fresh when it's nice and cold, so I bet when you get to go outside in small increments like this, it probably feels magical and so refreshing! Thank you so much for this sneak peek into life here, it was lovely to see!!

      Actually in such regions as Yakutia it's difficult to make snowballs, because the snow is powdery and not stiky most time of the winter time, to play snowballs it's better for you to visit somewhere near Moscow. Welcome to Russia)

    I was in Yakutsk for a week in January 2006 in frosty temperatures of 55-57. In such frosts, Yakutsk is covered with a cloud of man-made fog from operating boiler houses, so dense that visibility is no more than 3-5 meters. The season for snatching hats from passers-by is opening in the city - you can run away and get lost in the fog. One day it became warm - only 38 degrees. Visibility improved to 100 meters. In the video the temperature is 30 degrees.

    I’m from Minnesota where it can get -40 F or less degrees, although that doesn’t happen every year. It’s been-65 F with windchill. Honestly, you just have to embrace the cold as part of your identity, or you’d go insane. The capital city celebrates a mythic battle every January between the King of the North Winds and the Vulcan King, representing summer. The tradition started when the New York Times belittled the city as “another frozen Siberia, unfit for human life”, so the city just leaned into that reputation and has been celebrating with a whole crew of mythical characters during the winter carnival for 138 years.

    Oh, Yakutsk... I was there in the summer of 2000, and yes, it is interesting with its own peculiarities and beauty. On top of what you said, I want to add much more:
    - The Lena river that pass very close to city and it is very big there. Frozen in winter, thaw from springs so prone to floods, but many buildings in city and around are above ground on pillars.
    - Water pipes/system adapted to weather ...
    - The fact that it is almost on polar circle so in summer day is very long (20h+) and night very short (~2h) with very beautiful sunsets, when sometimes all cloud in the sky turn red. (In winter days are very short and nigths very long.)
    - The permafrost at 5-10 m underground so you can have a nice frige with about a constant temp of -5°C, by just dig a cellar.
    - Insects in summer !!!! I count at least 5 species of mosquito, a big horsefly, several kinds of dragonflies and moore...
    - Forests (unfortunately lately tend to forest fires in summers :( , otherwise very nice to see).

    I was born and grew up in Yakutsk until I was about 8 years old. This was in the 80's, so I didn't have much exposure to anything else, even on TV - to me it all seemed normal. Shortly after I turned 8 I moved to Moldova, then England, then San Francisco within the span of about 7 years and what a quickly-increasing shock to the system that was in terms of weather/climate.

Fun skating, skiing, making snow forts and of course tobogganing. We bundled up in layers of warm clothes and enjoyed every moment. The adults had to force us to come home. As an adult, I love traveling back to Canada in the winter and still go walking even in the extreme cold. As they say in Norway, there’s no bad weather only bad clothing!
