It hits those lows every single year. I'm in the west metro, lived here my whole life.
2014/15 (I think it was) we had highs of -55F, plus windchill. That was exceptional, but we get a week or two at least every year of lows around -40.

I like those temps for a lot of reasons, one of them that the C/F distinction more or less goes away down there haha.
All good mate, talking about the winter's cold can quickly turn into a Salty Spitoon contest of who's toughest! I'm happy to give it to you up in Edmonton though - you know the senses involved with a clear January day for sure!
Right around the corner now, good sauna weather! I was just noting to a friend too how we're a third of the way down from summer: 50⁰ off from the top of July, 100⁰ still to go down to the bottom of January. . . Bring it on!

What part of Canada? I think we get and stay colder than most of the East and Great Lakes areas. We're further North than Toronto even.
Every year in Jan/Feb we'll get a week or two with nightly lows of -40 to -50 or so. Sometimes the daily high even stays below -30F for a week or two. Bright, sunny winter days are a special thing - too cold to snow!

>Minnesota will routinely get to 10 degrees, even zero degrees, in the middle of January at night.
This made me laugh. As a lifelong Minnesotan, you're nearly 50 degrees too warm on that estimate!
