Calgary was one of 33 Alberta communities to see record-breaking daytime lows on Wednesday.
Of the record-busting communities, the coldest came out as Sundre — the small, central Albertan town plunged to a jaw-dropping -32C (-25.6F) yesterday, shaving more than 10C (17.8F) off of its previous record low of -22.1C (-7.8F).
Below, I've listed all 33 of Alberta's busted benchmarks from Wednesday, Nov 9.
Note, these are longstanding records that are being toppled, and by huge margins in some cases, too; realities that the treacherous Canadian government - via their fraudulent climate arm (ECCC) and bought-out mainstream media - is attempting to convince the masses are increasingly rare, due to CO2-induced Terrifying Terra Firma Broiling, aka Global Warming, aka Cow Farts, aka BS.
These are not rare, however; in fact, 'cold extremes' have been shown to be on the increase in line with the historically low solar activity Earth is continuing to receive.

The record cold hasn't just been confined to Alberta, of course; the neighboring provinces of Saskatchewan and British Columbia have also endured unprecedented freezes for the time of year.
The snowfall has also been impressive, with Vancouver recently logging its earliest measurable snowfall since 1991.
MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN, CA RECEIVES 5-FEET DURING ONE OF THE BIGGEST NOVEMBER SNOWSTORMS ON RECORD
This early-season injection of cold has plunged south of the border too, deep into the United States.
California's Mammoth Mountain is currently under 60 inches (5-feet) of freshly fallen snow after an early season storm delivered one the biggest November snow totals on record to the Eastern Sierra.
For reference, this is already the snowiest November of the last decade at Mammoth—and it's only November 10.
The mountain should be open top-to-bottom this weekend, but it may take some time for crews to safely open everything given the historic amount of snow and also the outlook, which is calling for yet more substantial November dumpings.
