Oh my God! Does that mean endless snow reports from Nguk


Yup

And with him being in the east he'll be one of the first to be claiming
that he's seen flakes of solid nitrogen floating down as the air freezes out!


Well Carbon Dioxide snow would be first, at a bit below -78.5 deg C.
It would be interesting to see the effects of breathing air low on C02
as it gradually condensed out of the atmosphere. Fortunately(?) for
the unfortunate few left on earth, Oxygen and Nitrogen would remain as
gases way down to the minus 200s. Would they go out on a high?
