Recorded temperatures at the poles of Titan indicate it’s just cold enough for oxygen to condense (-183.1 Deg. C). Unfortunately, even though cold enough, there isn’t any free oxygen detected in the atmosphere of the moon. Although it does rain methane, it’s predicted there are cryo-volcanoes, and water is as hard as stone. There are really interesting atmospheric phenomena occurring on the moon.

And Titan is a balmy vacation spot compared to Triton’s temperature of about -235 C and Pluto’s -229 C.
