A: No, it's not even in the top five.

1.Ulaan-Baatar (Mongolia) 29.7°F/-1.3°C
2.Astana (Kazakhstan) unavailable
3.Moscow (Russia) 39.4°F/4.1°C
4.Helsinki (Finland) 40.1°F/4.5°C
5.Reykjavik (Iceland) 40.3°F/4.6°C
6.Tallin (Estonia) 40.6°F/4.8°C
7.Ottawa (Canada) 41.9°F/5.5°C

Couldn't resist either. :)

And that it is in fact stupidly cold in winter?

I couldn't resist either! :p
