This is not uncommon

This bit of news lit up the interwebs last week.  But in truth there are actually several places on Earth that are frequently colder than some places on Mars.  There's a place in Antarctica that recently clocked in at -93C.  The more interesting thing is even when it gets that cold on Earth there's still stuff loony enough to live there...which is promising for those of us still hoping for some kind of Martian life.
