  “FAIRBANKS – Bitterly cold weather slid over from Canada and settled
  into Interior Alaska with forecasters saying temperatures could
  continue to slide to nearly 50 degrees below zero in coming days.
  
  
  Over the weekend, the mercury at Fairbanks International Airport
  dropped to 39 degrees below zero. Areas in the Interior outside the
  city were even colder; 46 below on the Yukon Flats, 41 below in Fort
  Yukon and 44 below in Central, according to the weather service.”

  “Inhabitants of Oymyakon a Siberian town in Russia, may face the
  coldest temperature ever as meteorologists expect the weather to plunge
  20 degrees lower than the last coldest temperature ever registered on
  earth.

  Oymyakon is known as the coldest town on earth after it reached a
  temperature of minus 76 degrees Fahrenheit. But in the following days
  meteorologists expect it to decrease to minus 83.2 to 90.4 degrees
  Fahrenheit .
  
  
  “In the next few days we expect a cold spell in the towns of
  Verkhoyansk and Oymyakon, with weather likely to drop to minus 64-68
  degrees Celsius (minus 83.2-90.4 Fahrenheit),” a spokesman of a local
  meteorologist service informed according to Russian information agency
  Novosti.

  The spokesman said that the temperature forecasted is due to an influx of a cold polar air mass.”
