Red Deer sets record low, comes close to another
RED DEER- If it’s going to be this cold it might as well be record-setting, right?
Red Deer set a new record low this morning (Wed.) when the temperature hit an unofficial -42.5 Celsius at the Red Deer Regional Airport. That broke the old record of -40.6 that was recorded back in 1950.
It could have been the second straight day of record cold as we missed tying the Jan. 14 record low of -42.8 by just 0.5 degrees. That record was also set back in 1950.
Wind chills have added to the misery by making it feel more like -50 in some parts of central Alberta.
