The land of perpetual cold

Omyakon is a town in Siberia, where the temperatures don't come above -50 all year long.  In the summer, it is cold.  In the winter, it is cold.  There are no romps in the haystack or running barefoot in the tulips.  the most essential piece of equipment here, is  warm fur coat.  You need a covering.  I don't know why people enter the most unsettling time of their lives all by themselves.  They don't consult guidance from church leaders or family leaders.  Some places in life, you just won't be able to go at it alone.  You need a covering or, like in Omyakon, you will simply be found dead.
