Cold Enough for ya?

Cold Enough for ya?

I get a chill just looking at this picture!    Zoltan braved the elements to capture the mighty– the frozen, North Saskatchewan and the mighty–the frozen, city of  Edmonton.    It looks like Zoltan is standing right next to the Edmonton Queen — which of course is also frozen in her tracks .. er in her paddle wheel.   http://www.edmontonqueen.com      We Albertans really suffered through a cold snap.   How cold was it?  

Well, on December 13th, records show that Edmonton was the Coldest place ON EARTH.    The weather station at Edmonton International Airport hit  -46.1C(-51F)  at 5am,..PLUS a windchill of  -59C(-74F).

DID YOU KNOW?     You may have heard the phrase misery loves company:   During that same time  High Level was  -40.9 C.     Fort McMurray  -39 C.    Calgary -30 C.    Bragging rights on Tuesday, December 15th went to the hamlet of Vimy as being the  COLDEST PLACE in the country  - 54 C.     All toghether now:   ”O Canada, our home and native land ….  the true north strong and free!
