Coldest start to November in Edmonton in decades as parts of Alberta set records
Arctic air settled over Alberta and 33 new record lows were set in the province Wednesday morning. That includes the EIA and Stony Plain weather stations.
The city of Edmonton did NOT set a record. But, the morning low of -21 C was the earliest arrival of a -20 temperature in November in decades.
The last time it hit -20 in the first 10 days of November was back in 1991. Edmonton hit -21.9 C on Nov. 2 that year.
-27 remains the record low for Nov. 9 in Edmonton. That record was set in 1924.
Many areas could see another record-setting morning Thursday. Although, the city of Edmonton will (once again) not be on that list.
