Conditions in winter can be very cold; rivers freeze up for between three and four months and ice forms along the coast, blocking harbours and impeding navigation. In the north there may be as many as 200 days with frost a year. The most unpleasant feature of the weather and climate of North Korea is undoubtedly the extreme cold and frequent wind chill in winter. Warm clothing is necessary at this time." |

The only other place that I've been that was as cold was Hintertux, Austria in January at 10000 feet.
You know it's bad when the snot freezes before it leaves your nose. |

You mean where you go to inhale and the liquid snot inside your nose freezes your nostrils shut?  I get to experience that regularly. |
