      Celsius and Fahrenheit scales intersect at -40, as -40 °F equals to -40 °C

      -30 and -22 are relatively close to that, closer than most temperatures people use in everyday life, hence the smaller than expected difference.

        I’m referring to the title. I don’t think in metric so I had to do the math to see what it was in freedom units.

        Harbin is NOT the world’s coldest city. Actually, I can pull up historical weather data and tell you that in January, Harbin is the 7th coldest average with an average of -3F.

        The first two are in Russia, and the third is in Canada.

        -22F is frigid, but we used to get that pretty frequently in the past. I think in 2019 Minneapolis had -27F. I saw -23F last week.

        International Falls, MN has a record of -55F, Snag, Yukon has a record of -81F, and Oymyakon, Russia has a record of -91F (1924, more recently in 2018 it was -88F).
