Living (and loving) Life
Many folks dream about retiring and spending the rest of their days in some warm and sunny tropical paradise, but there are others that make the decision to retire to a cooler locale.
If you’re looking for a cool place to retire to, you literally won’t find a “cooler” town to retire to than Oymyakon, Russia.
Oymyakon happens to be the coldest permanently inhabited town on our entire planet, bar none.
How cold does it get there? Well, the low nighttime winter temps occasionally dip as low as the -70s Fahrenheit.
Just out of curiosity, I decided to check out the Weather Channel’s current 10 Day (early January) Forecast for Oymyakon. This is what I found:
Pretty “cool”, right?
Can you imagine living through one of Oymyakon’s VERY long winters? Just think, approximately 500 people live there year round.
I don’t know about you, but I believe I’ll steer clear of Oymyakon and retire some place where the temps tend to be quite moderate during the winter.
If I ever take a notion to “visit” the coldest town on planet earth I’ll do it by watching videos like the one below.
