Why isn't Poland in the tropics?

The temperature when I left home this morning to go to work was -28 degrees Celsius, though it felt like -28 degrees Kelvin. Apparently the "maximum" was -16. I used inverted commas around maximum because I don't really think it's a term that one can really use when the temperature range is -30 to -16. It's more like minimum and not-quite-as-cold-as minimum.

The school's car (the one that I drive) has a wonderfully effective anti-theft device enabled. The doors are all completely frozen shut. Unfortunately, it's also a remarkably effective anti-use device.
