As Cold as on Mars

Shelby Bullion

Burrr… Feeling the chill of this week’s arctic blast?  Much of the country is expecting historic, record breaking low temperatures.

These temperatures, unusual for us here on Earth, are normal for daytime on the planet Mars: minus 13-degrees Fahrenheit (-25 in Celsius). If you think that’s chilly, the Martian nighttime temperature drops precipitously to a minus 125-degrees F.

Baton Rouge is expecting a balmy 15 degree Fahrenheit for a low, so enjoy while it lasts.
