The colder a transistor gets the lower it's thermal noise. That means
our receivers would be even better for DX'ing. This is why the
front-ends of radio telescopes are cryogenically cooled.

Yup. Someone goes out every hour to collect data. They recorded the
highest wind speed on earth in 1934. It was 230-mph. The main building
is rated for winds up to 300-mph.

Siberia is colder than brass underwear in the winter, no question.
But unless their record has been broken recently, the coldest still air
temp ever recorded there was -98 Farenheit. 5W30 motor oil turns to
stiff caramel at -35 Farenheit, and tires shatter at -50 Farenheit.
It's stretching it a bit to say Siberia
"gets to -100 frequently", though.

You'd make an excellent reporter. Take a story and make it into what you
want. 1/4 mile from home? The article states "just around the corner".
whatever that really means. Froze to death? It says she was found under the
snow by her car. It would have to be about -100 for you to freeze to death
in that short of a distance. More likely slipped on the ice, hurt herself
and couldn't get up. Yes, she probably did freeze to death but not because
it was so cold you would freeze to death in minutes. I have been in cold
like that, living in tents, outside most of the day. It's not that bad.

not personally sure that freezing tempuratures was the actual cause of death;

if she had stayed in her car she might have survived;
or knocked on a neighbors door,
( Just called the Police ( 516-573-6200 ) covering that area, actual cause of

They have a phenomenon known as 'rime' ice up there. It's formed by wind
driven super cooled fog which deposits on objects as horizontal spikes
of ice which point *into* the wind!

Must have been a typo on the teleprompter. That wind chill will cause
frostbite in a matter of SECONDS on unprotected skin.
