Just a couple of days ago, I posted about the “Coldest Snowstorm in Montreal in a Century.“

Now we find that Ottawa also endured the coldest snowstorm in a century.

Ottawa residents awoke Saturday morning to find themselves living in the coldest capital city on Earth, about 20 degrees colder than Moscow and Helsinki, even edging out Ulan Bator, Mongolia, by a degree.

The low of -24°C (-11.2 F) combined with nearly 30 cm (12 inches) of snow made it Ottawa’s coldest snowstorm in more than 100 years.
