In order to illustrate just how frigid things are here in North Dakota during the current winter storm, we've used resources like Explore, TripSavvy, and the World Population Review to compile a list of some of the coldest inhabited areas on the planet (excluding places without government and any research stations at the North or South Poles) all of which have current and average January temperatures that are higher than what Bismarck and Minot are facing now (-20 and -21 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively). Read on to see just how cold the Peace Garden State's current climate is, even when compared to even the world's most snowbound settlements.
