How cold is it?

This summer at the South Pole has been an unusually warm one.
Yesterday's maximum was -5.5F (-20.8C), minimun was -16.1F (-26.7C)
whereas the average for this time of the year is -20.4F (-29.1C)
(there is no average max and min because the sun is up 24 hours a
day). Still, if you leave a bottle of water outside, it will freeze
pretty quickly. This is my water bottle that I left in my backpack in
the back of the snow-mobile for about 30 minutes.
