Did you go to school in Edmonton in 1890 or something? I grew up near Edmonton too and while January/Feb can certainly cross the -30 mark from time to time (and barely), -40 is unheard of. Maybe with windchill, like once or twice a year.
- fnbr 9y agoI just remember the day in 2009 [1] when Edmonton was literally the coldest place on Earth. You're right that the winters have been getting better, but there's typically at least one week of below -40 weather, which is awful.

- cknoxrun 9y agoI've lived here for 17 years and there has never been a week of below -40.
- refurb 9y agoHere you go! This is as close I could find. It was a while back. https://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/CYEG/1998/1/15/WeeklyHistory.html https://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/CYEG/1998/1/15/... For the week of January 7th, the highest temperate was -28C. Lowest was -37C. The prior week had a high of -25C. Go back another year to 1997 and the temperature for the week of January 19th was a high of -30C and a low of -41C. I remember it fondly. The temperature never got above -30C for almost 10 days.
