At Least You're Not in Antarctica

No matter where you live, your winter can't match this

It’s cold outside in most places in the United States (except here in Colorado, where we’re experiencing spring-like weather in the high 50s). But even if you’re getting hammered by snow and wind, it’s nothing compared to Antarctica.

This vid is a little old, but is showcases Condition 1 weather in Antarctica, which means winds are faster than 50 mph and temperatures are somewhere between -75 and -100 F. If anything, it should remind you how good you have it, and maybe inspire you to take a trip outside this weekend.


Will you be heading outdoors this weekend? Tell us where you’ll go and the weather conditions in the comments section below.
