He says our kids are not tough because schools are closed due to the cold, yet he's not out helping deliver mail where delivery has been postponed.

Franz Josef Land wasn't discovered until the 2nd half of the 19th century; it's bound in sea ice for most of the year. The sun hasn't risen above the horizon there since 18th October: https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/%40562426?month=10&year=2018
