More than fifty-year old weather records were shattered by Friday's cold weather.
Environment Canada's Geoff Coulson says the thermometer at its weather station at the Fort Frances airport dipped to minus 42.7 C.
The previous record low on January 21 was minus 40 C back in 1954.
A reading in International Falls Friday morning of 46 below F also broke the previous record for the city set back in 1954 of 41 below F.
