If you thought February was particularly cold, you were right. Frigid conditions made the month the coldest February in 28 years, according to Environment Canada’s senior climatologist David Phillips.
Not since 1979 has February dished up such bone-rattling conditions.
The average temperature was -8.4C, which was three degreescolder than normal.
That also made it the fifth coldest February since 1937 when weather records were first kept at what is now Pearson International Airport.
It followed an unusually mild January.
The month was also distinguished by a lack of rain.
Usually in Feburary, the temperature rises enough that we get some rain.
However, this was the first February since 1978 and only the second ever when we didn’t get one drop of rain.
"This was winter at its worst," Phillips said.
Today’s weather will be cold, but there is the promise of spring around the corner.
Environment Canada is predicting temperatures will rise to 3C by Friday.
And although we have had snowfalls right through May in some years, the law of averages suggests we may have had our last snowstorm of the season.
In the months of March, April and May, there is only a 21 per cent chance of any snow falling, according to Phillips.
Environment Canada is also calling for normal temperatures through March, April and May.

I'm at 2 degrees here and February is over.
With all the hot air Algore produces, he is his own heater. In all probability, his heating bill was zero.
That warm? Lucky you.
Maybe I can get some ice-offsets for use in August...
I'm freezing my fanny off here!
It's currently -2 where I'm at.
Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...Flee...a prolonged bout of normal temperatures....
It's just one of the *extreme* weather *swings* cause by an *upset* Mother Earth......don't ya know? SAVE THE POLAR BEARS!
Me, too. Matter of fact, I'm demanding it.
"Frigid conditions made the month the coldest February in 28 years..."
My propane bill can atest to that!
February was cold? I wouldn't know; I spent the month in Algore's heated pool. Toasty!
Left my house @ 4 am and it was 4F,
not counting the 40 mph wind.
the joke of all this is that Algore is never home anyway
he's always on the road giving speeches and receiving awards
it's the minions minding the plantation that are sucking up all the cheap TVA juice, LOL
Check southern AZ temps.
Obviously, this article is mistaken. Acoording to algore, his lapdog leonardo dicaprio and all the gorons, we are about to be consumed in a fire of major proportions due to "human-caused" global warming. In fact, according to all of them, plus the UN and bazillions of scientists, we cannot reverse global warming.
We're DOOOOOOMMMMMMEDDD!!!!
