Because altitude. Much like how Mt Kilimanjaro has snow on it despite being close to the equator.

    Obviously I figured it'd be much colder, but I've been in -55°f wind chills and it took me being at 8000+ feet elevation, in a northern latitude, in the peak of a record setting winter, for us to hit that. So, yeah I expected freezing temps up there, but -52.6°f is making my brain hurt. It's just so crazy that I figured it had to include some other weather phenomenon, not just altitude.
