It’s how cold?
Last week weather enthusiast Dave Patrick tweeted that of the 11 years on record at the Elora RCS the previous record cold of -22.1C on Feb. 16, 2004 was shattered by the Feb. 16, 2015 temperature of -30C.
That information was later updated as Enviroment Canada’s Daily Data indicated temperatures dropped to -31.2C.
So far it looks like, the average temperature for February is close to -20C.
However Patrick also noted that on at least one occasion this month, the temperature at the north pole was actually higher than some temperatures in Wellington County.
