Cold record broke over the weekend

Jan 15, 2024 | 8:25 AM

A cold record in Grande Prairie was broke over this past frigid weekend.

On Friday, the coldest temperature in the city was -42.5 degrees Celsius. The old record on Jaunary 12 was set back in 1998 when it was -41.0 C.

Thirty seven other places in the province also had their cold records broke the same day.

Even though Sunday was the coldest Grande Prairie residents experienced all weekend at a numbing -42.7 C, it did not beat the record of -50.0 C set back in 1950!

An extreme cold warning for all of the province is still in effect, but Environment Canada says temperatures will warm up a bit today, however extreme cold conditions will likely stay for the rest of the week in northern Alberta.
