Coldest you've seen the mercury drop to

[Plamondonbrews]

Coldest I've seen was -54C (with windchill) at Tremblant a few years ago. I've also skied at -49C at Camp Fortune but those were some of the rare cases I remember seing temperatures drop below -40.

-56 in Prince George in 1993. I moved shortly afterwards

I'd have to agree with Plamondonbrews. I remember skiing at Fortune one day and getting frostbite on my forehead! There was a crask of exposed flesh between my goggles and toque. Looked like a 3rd eyeball!!

I love that you just said "toque". I get made fun of all the time here in Virginia for using that word. Makes Americans look at me cross-eyed. Nice to see a forum with fellow Canadians on it

It's not the coldest either my mom or I have seen the mercury drop to, but my mom who lives in the Arctic with her mom, just posted this on facebook:

Posted 2:45 AM - I just woke up and it seemed cold. I checked the temp. It is -27C or -17 F, with the windshield it is -33C or -27F. I thought I better go and plug in the block heater on the car so that it will start in the morning. I just got back in and it was cold outside!! Sunrise is now 10:28 AM sunset is 3:55 PM. This is posted for my friends in the south : )

Wow, you guys in the prairies have it rough.
I rarely goes colder than -30 C in Ottawa.
Can't even imagine -50C.

We basically get the weather that Ottawa had a couple of hours ago.
It's a nice early warning system

12 below here, much lower with the wind though

[jeepcache]

got to -20f couple nights ago, and we are only in december...
