On Monday the temperature was only a few degrees off the record for the coldest day. It was -37 celsius (-34 farenheit). With a wind chill, it felt like -56 celsius (-70 farenheit). Record breaking amounts of electricity in Central Alberta were used. It's cooled off a bit though in the past few days. Yesterday the temperature dipped below -30 for a short time and today the high was a toasty -24. Forecast for Friday is calling for a high of -5, twenty degrees warmer than Thursday and THIRTY TWO degrees warmer just a few days earlier.
I can't ever recall a November being this cold.
