Parts Of The U.S. And Canada Are Colder Than Mars Today

And also parts of the northern U.S.! Insert the "I Don't Want to Live on this Planet Anymore" GIF right here.

You’d never know it by looking at this chill little Canadian…

...but today, it's probably colder in Canada than it is on the planet Mars.

That's right! On Sunday, Earth's good friend Curiosity Rover was checking out Mount Sharp on the red planet and reported back a temperature of 21.2° fahrenheit.

Parts of the U.S. are also colder than Mars today. Hope you have some hot cocoa handy.

It will be colder than @MarsCuriosity’s location in Gale Crater throughout much the northern US and Canada today

Back on Earth, our pals in Canada are faring a tad worse, with temps in Toronto at about 16 and Ottawa at -3.

And way up in bitterly cold Iqaluit, where it's -15, Mars is probably looking real nice.

But before you book your SpaceX flight, remember a few things:

The global average temperature on Mars is about -67°...

...with lows of -202°C in some parts...

...and a thin atmosphere that will most certainly choke you to death.

The choice is yours.
