"The climate of North Korea is rather more continental and extreme than that of the south. This is because it has a long land border and is more open to cold winds that blow from Manchuria and Siberia in winter.

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."

We could always make it nice and warm there during the winter.

Scary thought.

Cold ain't the word for it. I was stationed not very far from the 38th Parallel and it was downright miserable. 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.
