Frosty Sodankylä

It gets cold in Sodankylä in January. This is the coldest month here, and last night the thermometer bottomed out at –39.5°C! It's the coldest we've seen in many years. There used to be always some days of –40°C here in January, but not in recent years. Incidentally, –40° is the same on both the Celsius as well as the Fahrenheit scale.
