The temperature in Calgary continues to plunge, getting colder and colder over the next 48 hours.
“Just a wee bit chilly,” said Heather Pimiskern with Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).
It’s cold, but at least it isn’t La Crete cold — the hamlet in northern Alberta feels like -50 C with the windchill Thursday morning, according to the weather agency.
The provincial hotspot is in Cardston, which is sitting at -24 C.
“For Calgary, temperatures will continue to dip over the next couple of days,” Pimiskern explained. “As far as when the last time we saw temperatues of this range, it looks to be around 2004, which is about 20 years ago when we saw daytime high temperatures around -30 C.
