A month of Aleutian ridging will do that apparently. Still a bit surprising.

^ lol Kronan never responded Still really cold in the high arctic. -54.8C/-66.6F at Summit Camp, Greenland. -46.2C/51.2F in Eureka, Canada. Ojmjakon is the coldest place with actual population.  Summit Camp is still in the -40s and -50s C, but it's at 3200m/10500ft and last year's warmest temperature was only -0.8C. Early March had some highs above -20. Eureka, Canada has six days below -45 in March, two in late February, but nothing before that. Winter has a lot of seasonal lag so it's not warming up yet. -40 was common earlier in winter. The snow cover is thin since it's so dry. Delyankir has been colder than Ojmjakon during the day lately and almost every night is below -40 due to a large diurnal range. It is finally close to the negative teens, -20.4C today. February 3rd had a max of -18.4. Speaking of diurnals, Toko Russia has impressively cold nights most of the time especially for 56N. Yesterday was -10.6/-38.8 (+13/-38F)  |

It would be something to experience a year or two in those cold Siberian climates. The only reason I say that is due too the long and cold winters followed by a rapid warm up into a relatively warm and sometimes hot summer. That contrast would be interesting.

Dawson is warming up early and I'm jealous of all that sunshine.  |

Still cold in a location in Quebec, on 58N, 171 m asl, lows are worse than right now in Yakutsk.  |

Nunavut's climate is ridiculously epic during the springtime.
Looking at Rankin Inlet, Gjoa Haven, Cabridge Bay, and Baker Lake, none of them have a temp above -14C in the 10 day forecast. It's April!
In comparison, if one looks at Verkhoyansk or Oymyakon at similar latitudes, they all have highs around 0C. Even Tiksi and Norilsk cannot compare.

shalop Sometimes the northern Nunavut climates have their first above-freezing weather in June. April is still winter, especially early April. It would be interesting to have 24-hour days with snow cover and cold temperatures, that happens every year there.

Umiat is sitting at a cool -27°C right now. That with 9:30 PM sunsets.

Umiat is still at -21°C, now with 17 hour days and white nights. Jesus Christ, it'll soon be May.

We're getting 3°C highs soon, Baba is getting 1°C, the Scandinavian arctic will get ice days. Proud members of the polar crowd all.
Side question: does anyone know what the coldest inhabited place in Iceland is?

Þórustaðir 3.1C annual mean, range -1.6 to +9.9 Raufarhöfn 2.0C annual mean, range -2.2 to +8.0 (Northernmost village on the mainland) Grímsey annual mean is between 1 and 2C but the source is Weatherbase. It is a small island north of the mainland. The central highlands are colder but mostly uninhabited so there might not be any weather stations. I don't want to search through every station here. en.vedur.is/climatology/data/
Hvannadalshnúkur should be the absolute coldest spot at 2110m/6920' elevation and 64.0N, highest peak in iceland.
The warmest is one of the southernmost places, either Vestmannaeyjar or Vík í Mýrdal. Both climate boxes say 5.3C. Vestmannaeyjar is close to the place with the highest wind speed in Iceland, 61m/s or 140mph in Stórhöfði The wiki article claims that place is the windiest in Europe and has also recorded the lowest air pressure in Europe. Vík í Mýrdal sees over 2m of precipitation a year, it is extremely wet for a cold northern place.
knot The weather here is maybe more epic than Grytviken. Read the last sentence - 49m of snow???
Edit, there are dozens of stations on Ogimet in Iceland at 300-800m elevation but none of them have consistent weather data. These have at least a few days of data this month.

Crunch41 Good effort! In regards to the glacier's 49 m snowfall: that is indeed more epic than Grytviken, but once you go higher up in South Georgia, the Allardyce Range would exceed >90 m quite easily; up to 2,935 m AMSL at Mt. Paget. Mawson Peak on the Heard & McDonald Islands would likely receive >100 m of annual snowfall—merely by looking at pictures of its snow-laden ridges, you can tell that its snow amount is beyond monstrous.

If this holds up, that's rather impressive day-to-day consistency for Verkhoyansk later this week:  |
