After another frigid weekend in Saskatchewan, Environment Canada is reporting a new spate of record daily minimum temperatures.

On Saturday, 17 areas of the province set record lows.

The Rosetown area broke a record that had stood for nearly 100 years — since 1922 — with a new low of –38.1 C. Records keeping in the area started in 1913.

The Nipawin area recorded temperatures of –43.9 C, breaking the previous low for that day of –42.8 C set in 1936. Records in this area have been kept since 1927.

Other records set on Saturday included:

  • Broadview area, –41.4 C.
  • Coronach area, –37.2 C.
  • Elbow area, –40.1 C.
  • Hudson Bay area, –41.9 C.
  • Indian Head area, –41.1 C.
  • Kindersley area, –36.4 C.
  • Last Mountain Lake, –42.5 C.
  • Lucky Lake area, –36.3 C.
  • Meadow Lake area, –37.6 C.
  • Melfort area, –41.7 C.
  • Rockglen area, –32.9 C.
  • Watrous area, –41.5 C.
  • Weyburn area, –38.4 C.
  • Wynyard area, –39.2 C.
  • Yorkton area, –39.2 C.
Nine more daily low temperature records fell on Sunday:

  • Assiniboia area, –34.2.
  • Coronach area, –36.7.
  • Elbow area, –37.5.
  • Kindersley area, –34.4.
  • Lucky Lake area, –33.3.
  • Rockglen area, –32.6.
  • Watrous area, –36.2.
  • Weyburn area, –36.7.
  • Yorkton area, –36.5.
According to Kyle Fougere, a meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada, it is fairly typical to see some extra-cold temperatures in Saskatchewan in February.

"This has been a particularly cold one — we've had very cold temperatures [with] overnight lows of below –40 for several days in Saskatchewan over the last 10 days," he said.
Generating lots of revenue neutral carbon taxes , is my guess .

Well climate is always and has always changed. Do you think the weather/climate was the same 500 or 1000 years ago? Unlikely. It ebbs & flows. Stating categorically that climate change is a "major crisis" is being rather naïve & disingenuous. Mankind has adapted over the decades (centuries) to whatever Mother Nature throws at us and will continue to do so. Maybe next February the temps will be much better or worse - we won't know until it actually happens. The whole Climate scenario is simply a tax grab for governments & people who are pushing this stupidity to line their own pockets & we need to fight back because it's going to get VERY expensive to heat our homes now & in the future whenever the cold weather hits. Fossil fuels will be what saves us & green energy will be our downfall.

February in the US is trending cooler over past 100 years with 2021 being the coldest before even being done with.

The next 6 days at record highs still wouldnt help.

Wern’t the planets formed by an explosion?
Earth must be cooling since then.
I think the cancer causing wind mills in Tx. Have created a cooling effect that will save the world by balancing The fires in Australia, obviously.

Extreme cold weather hitting most of Canada with temperatures plunging to -55C this weekend
Along with the cold temperatures, the Greater Toronto Area is also under a winter storm warning

Frigid temperatures are sweeping across most of Canada, from eastern Alberta to Newfoundland and Labrador, with the wind chill ranging from a bone-numbing low of -30C to -55C expected over the weekend.

Residents in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and northern Ontario will have to contend with the coldest temperatures as Environment Canada issued a rare orange warning Friday, stating a “multi-day episode of very cold wind chills is expected” until Sunday.


Northern Saskatchewan is facing the brunt of the Arctic blast, with the weather agency stating that the region will be hit with wind chill values between -45C and -55C Friday night and into Saturday morning, while northern Manitoba should brace for wind chills in the -45C to -50C range during the weekend.

“Wind chill values may improve slightly during daytime hours, but are expected to drop back below -45C each night for the next several nights,” it said.



In Regina and parts of Manitoba, officials closed schools and cancelled buses and field trips.

Officials in Regina also said they was making available an overnight warming bus that travels between shelters until Monday.

Environment Canada issued a yellow warning for the eastern parts of Alberta, noting that “wind chill values near -40C may return tonight for a few communities.”

The deep-freeze is also sweeping into Ontario, with the weather agency warning of wind chill values ranging from -35C to -45C beginning Friday night and continuing into Sunday morning.

Along with the cold weather, the Greater Toronto Area is also under a winter storm warning, with snowfall amounts forecast between 20 and 30 centimetres on Sunday, Environment Canada said.

Visibility could be “near zero at times in blowing snow with winds gusting to 50 km/h,” it warned.

The City of Toronto said it has dispatched extra outreach teams to encourage people to seek shelter indoors.

The Arctic air is expected to hit New Brunswick well into the weekend, with Environment Canada warning of wind chills between -30C to -39C Saturday morning until Sunday morning. Northwestern areas of the province will be hit with the coldest temperatures, it said.

Residents in the affected regions are being advised to dress warmly, wear extra layers and cover up exposed skin to avoid frost bite.
