Thanks to Lance Appleby for this info

"In my 20+ years operating my climate station here in Okotoks, 1996 was the coldest year I recorded," says Lance. "Of note, was that a lot of those records were from 1996!!!"

"Does not bode well for this winter if we keep this up!"

"My own weather station for Environment Canada, I recorded -30.5 this morning, my record, -31 in 1996…."
