Welcome to Barrow -- the country's ground zero for cold. Friday marks the first full day of winter, and no community knows how to survive freezing temperatures like people in this icebound town. Barrow, with a population of 4,500 (57 percent of them native Inupiat Eskimos), holds the record for the lowest average temperature in the United States.
When it's 40 below, you can make ice cubes outside in 14 minutes. If you don't cover your earlobes, they will freeze solid. People learn to breathe slowly, because the frigid air can frostbite the lungs.
Car tires flatten. Breaks fail. Steering wheels snap in drivers' hands. Local computer technicians recommend Apple laptops because, they say, biting temperatures make other brands break.
