How cold can it get?

So we’ve been tossing around temperatures like ‘minus 50’ as we’ve been telling people about this trip, but we didn’t actually think it would get -that- cold. Here’s the current forecast for Dawson, in the Yukon (one of the places we’ll be staying):

Thats right. -52C. I think that’s about -49F for US folks, so I guess one upside is not having to do temperature conversions when it gets that ridiculous.

Besides the temperature, we’re noticing massive road closures in Oregon, Washington, and throughout BC due to the massive amounts of snow.  We picked an interesting year to goto the arctic!
