I'm in North Dakota we get your Alberta clippers rbringing in storms in Winter we get 60 mph winds with no trees to stop it. I could go on but North Dakota Winters are at least as brutal as Canadian Winters. When my uncle lived in Anchorage it was actually warmer there than it was here. Anyway I know what cold is.
Last night it was -28F or -33C, that is killing cold if you are caught out in it unprepared frostbite on exposed skin in a matter of minutes
Ottawa is currently 5C or 41F temperatures which I would give anything to see. 55 degrees warmer than we are right now, I'm using farenheit.
I'm not saying Ottawa doesn't get cold but it's a lot warmer than here. Now add wind to those cold North Dakota temperatures, and you will see windchills of 50 below and more. The coldest actual temperatures I have seen were in 2006 or 7 not exactly sure which year. We do get winds with gusts up to 55 and 60 mph.
But we had temperatures of -58F one day and the next was -63F,
They actually had school both days. I had to go get my daughter from school because the furnaces couldn't keep up.
