Greenhouses to grow your crops. Evergreens could survive there, as could some grasses. The averages would be 1 celcius around the equator (which would make the equator a colder temperate zone) to -70 at the poles on average - completely inhospitable. I would imagine the majority of the New Berlin population originally settled along the equator, and has since branched out further north and south, as thermal insulation technology became more commonplace.
