good reading at 27 below zero. Tom what is the temp like on other planets past mars? Seems like livng where I do is another planet.

All the planets past Mars are gas giants so are a little different to Earth, but I'd take -27 degrees before conditions on those planets! As they are gas giants they have no well-defined solid surface as such, but typical mean temperatures on their "surfaces" are very approximately Jupiter -240 degrees Fahrenheit, Saturn -300, Uranus -320 and Neptune -350 degrees.

I'd consider your place or Puna before ever moving to those places. Of course the atmospheres are utterly poisonous to us and when you find a nice temperature somewhere deep down in the atmosphere of Jupiter for instance, you'd likely be crushed to death by the atmospheric pressure. Even a cold night on Mauna Kea seems like paradise compared to those planets!
