Ottawa had the dubious distinction of being the coldest capital in the world in January 2019 ("clocking in about 20 degrees colder than winter heavyweights like Moscow
and Helsinki, and even edging out perpetual champ Ulan Bator, Mongolia,
by a degree". Source: The Weather Network.)
And thats not all!
Low temperatures combined with nearly 30 cm of snow reported at
Ottawa Airport last weekend, set the city up to chalk up another unusual milestone -- the coldest snowstorm in more than 100 years.
And I haven't even mentioned the winds of 30-50 km/hr!
