Yet life, including perhaps our distant animal ancestors, somehow survived these deep freezes.

Venus, which is closer to the Sun, didn't experience these same deep freezes.

So, if you live in a place that frequently experiences deep freezes, you'll probably want to keep a traditional heating system in place alongside your heat pump.

The seas will rise, swamping our coastal cities; natural disasters (hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, wildfires) will become more extreme; there will be hotter heat waves, colder deep-freezes; and of course millions will die as a result.

The native mountain pine beetle has historically been kept in check by periodic deep freezes, but there haven't been any of those for years now, and this beetle has been killing pine species throughout the Rocky Mountains.

The plant can take deep freezes and is found growing wild on mountain highlands.

Practically speaking, summer heat waves and winter deep freezes might be characterized by planned power outages for consumers and businesses if voluntary rationing via incentives fails to reduce load adequately to match total power supply.

Sowjetunion (Taiga), p. 188 Rivulets and humid areas in lower altitudes of most of the ranges of the system provide a habitat for the Siberian Salamander,JSTOR - Emmett Reid Dunn, The Salamanders of the Family Hynobiidae a species known for surviving deep freezes —as low as .

The tail is longer than the body. A single egg sac contains 50-80 eggs on average, with a female typically laying up to 240 eggs in a season. The light-brown eggs hatch three to four weeks after being laid, releasing larval salamanders of 11–12 mm in length. The species is known for surviving deep freezes (as low as −45 °C).

Winter index of the NAO based on the difference of normalized sea level pressure (SLP) between Lisbon, Portugal and Stykkisholmur/Reykjavík, Iceland since 1864, with a loess smoothing (black) Westerly winds blowing across the Atlantic bring moist air into Europe. In years when westerlies are strong, summers are cool, winters are mild and rain is frequent. If westerlies are suppressed, the temperature is more extreme in summer and winter leading to heat waves, deep freezes and reduced rainfall. A permanent low-pressure system over Iceland (the Icelandic Low) and a permanent high-pressure system over the Azores (the Azores High) control the direction and strength of westerly winds into Europe.

The occasional passage of a cold front will bring rain followed by a few days of cooler temperatures. Lows rarely reach freezing , an occurrence which happens, on average, once every other year in areas away from the water and less frequently in areas on Tampa Bay or the Gulf of Mexico. While deep freezes are very infrequent, serious cold snaps are a significant concern due to the diverse range of freeze-sensitive agriculture and aquaculture industries in the area as well as tropical landscaping such as coconut palms and royal palms. Frozen precipitation is very rare in the Tampa Bay area. The only known measurable snowfall in Tampa after 1900 occurred on January 19, 1977.
