Actually, when I was in Army and at night temperature dropped to -57C ( -70.6F), we couldn't ignigh gasoline. WS quite hard to start a fire. Well, we burned wooden fence during that cold night to survive:)
As per RT.com, Russia’s Hydrometeorological Center has forecast that Western and Central Siberia will see temperatures as low as -50 celsius before the end of the year, around 20 degrees lower than the typical December cold. According to Roman Vilfand, the scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center, extreme cold is also a consequence of climate change, pointing out that “global warming is not only high temperatures, but also a large amplitude of variability.”
