Vladivostok?

I have no idea why that name sticks in my head but maybe it's because of this.

There might be a bit of ambiguity over this question - a cursory search turned up something like 3 or 4 candidates, though they are all in Russia.

What size settlement are we talking about?

Did see this, not too long ago on some kind of documentary. Yakutsk, or something like that.

Well Yakutsk, Swa's suggestion, was one of the three or four I had in mind. Your call as the question setter, though.

well Oymyakon was the one I had in mind it had the coldest annual temps
though just looked it up, this question was a bit ambiguous,
Yakutsk has the coldest winter temps for any city so Swa, you can go next!

That was in the mix too - the others were Verkhoyansk and Norilsk.

Specifically, Yakutsk is the coldest city, Norilsk is the coldest large town, Verkhoyansk is the coldest town, and Oymyakon is the coldest village.

Coldest ever recorded temperature was in Antarctica at Camp Vostok, I believe.

Pretty sure that your 'cold night' would have been a warm summer's day here in ol' Blighty...
