Northern Canada is facing some extreme cold this week, and one spot just became the second coldest place on Earth this morning.
A new weather report from WX-Now, which tracks the world’s most extreme weather, revealed that none other than the Albertan town of High Level reached a bone-chilling -31ºC in the early hours of the morning.
Alberta is no stranger to extreme winter weather. Snowfall warnings are currently in effect for the south of the province, and up to 35 cm of snow is predicted over the weekend.

The only spot in the world to out-cold Canada today was Antarctica, which had a jaw-dropping -37ºC overcast with ice crystals at -51ºC.
