Environment Canada says such low temperatures unusual for this time of year.
The arctic deep freeze trapping Calgary is on track to break a 110-year-old weather record today, but the bitter cold is expected to ease in the coming days.
With a forecast low of -31C today, Calgary could break the -27C record set on this day in 1896.
But factoring in the wind chill, it will feel even colder to people who have to brave the elements, said Environment Canada meteorologist Ross Macdonald.
It's even been too frosty to ski, with Canada Olympic Park shutting the hill yesterday in the name of safety.
Spokesman Chris Dornan said, to his knowledge, it's the first year the weather has forced a November closure.
"It's normally in January or February,"

With that in mind, the only true indicator of Global WarmingTM is beach-front real estate prices. Global WarmingTM predicts that ocean levels will rise and flood coastal cities. If this was imminent then you'd see a huge sell-off of beach-front property at bargain basement prices, which isn't happening. In fact, the trend seems to be the exact opposite.
The beauty (or evil) of the Global Warming crowd's argument is that all extremes are attributable to Global Warming. Record cold - global warming. Record heat - global warming. Drought - global warming. Record rain/floods - global warming. Many hurricanes - global warming. No hurricanes - global warming. To them, every extreme is created by global warming disruption. And, of course, global warming is created by the capitalist MAN!
Yesterday, we had heavy frost all over.
It was not there at dawn and came later. We had the same over all effect that happened to your windshield while driving.
I suggest that you get some sleep, and then your rage may abate enough to cut off the ALL-CAPS liberal hysteria.
"That's due to the fact that the political left, and envirals in particular, hold to the false premise that since they're yelling the loudest, that must mean they're correct.
My five-year-old daughter possesses more rationale."
Our five year old grandson is starting realized that his screaming doesn't change reality and may cause him to lose out re activities due to his behavior. His older and wiser 7 year old sister keeps telling him that screaming and yelling doesn't work with their parents or grand parents.
I don't mean this week or next week - I mean in general. The entire country has gotten warmer. Certain trees and animals that only live in a narrow climate band have all moved north. We now have trees in Southern Michigan that only grew in Southern Ohio & Indiana 30 years ago. Trees that grew in mid Michigan are now growing in the Upper Peninsula. Growing seasons have lengthened all over the country. I have seen palm trees growing farther north than they ever have before.
Individual winters or summers will always fluctuate up and down - but the 30 year trend has definitely gotten warmer.
It is 29 at the Bender Estate here in the South of Eureka and white as snow as far as the eye can see. It was so cold Mrs Bender put the garbage can out so she wouldn't have to listen to me whine.
The weather service says it's 38? on Humboldt Bay and we are only 3 miles south as the Sea Gulls fly...
No, it really isn't getting warmer. the record use of heating fuels over tha last 15 years alone points that out nicely.
>>My five-year-old daughter possesses more rationale.<<
Wait until she becomes a teenager, that's when the real fun starts, Joe. I learned about that stuff, two full courses. It was a blast.
My brainy little gals went right off the deep end. Sure glad to see that they are starting to straighten out and fly right again.
I'm just outside of Lumby and I awoke to -29. Brrrrrrrr. I hoped I left all that behind me when I moved from Prince George. I think it is following me.
Wow that is cold.
Glad that I'm not heading up that way to go fishing.
My trophy wife says that putting gargage roller cans at the curb isn't in her job description. So I get to do that.
Remember a couple of years ago when the fools told us how the cooling of the gulf stream was due to global warming?
Well, maybe the warming of Humbolt bay is causing cooling at your place ;o)
yes, live in Kelowna! :) we have been her about 3 years now. very pretty area.
ah ha! so it is YOUR fault! lol
Yes :
" The beauty (or evil) of the Global Warming crowd's argument is that all extremes are attributable to Global Warming..."
You need to have her listen to Walter Williams more often :o)
Just like all the extreme hurricanes that all the Global warming theorist predicted for this year?
When scientist can predict the weather a week ahead of time, then I might have some confidence in their theories. The basic problem that I have right now is that none of the global warming theories and projections agree with proven black body radiation equations.
LOL!
You wouldn't think that would be a common name, would you?
See? There you go trying to use real physics to refute political science. The real stuff has been repealed; we now use media dynamics in place of thermo. It's much easier to change things that way.
