Canada

The majority of people associate Canada with snowfall and freezing temperatures. Due to its northerly latitude, it does suffer chilly weather. However, due to its vastness, it features a variety of climates. Just consider that its southern boundary is located at the same latitudes as balmy northern California, while the northern border area is located near the arctic's icy tundra.

Manitoba's capital city, Winnipeg, has the coldest winters of any big Canadian city. It has the lowest average temps in the country. Winnipeg is also Canada's city with the most frequent temperatures below -65 degrees Celsius and the least likelihood of seeing a day above zero during the winter. Other Prairie communities, as well as others in Ontario and Quebec, fill out the list of the coldest cities in Canada throughout the winter.

Parts of Canada fell into very cold, bitter temperatures reaching as low as -63 °C, courtesy of the Polar Vortex's southern lobe grazing south. As we approach the new year of 2022, this pool of far more temperate weather will race south towards the United States.
