There was an extreme wind chill at the Quintette mine at Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia in the 1980s that was in this neighbourhood (I was told -113F by my father). There's no official recording, because there was no Environment Canada weather station up at the Mesa pit.
I worked there in the 90s and experienced extreme cold (-53C), but not the wind chill. Astounding bit of trivia: I forgot to plug in my truck and it started. Also, if you've never driven in those conditions, your tires freeze with a flat side and it takes a while to work the bump out of them.
