Don't blame Calgarians for grumbling about the weather. Calgary is the second-coldest place on earth.
At least, that's what wx-now.com, a global weather watch, was claiming at 10:57 a.m. Tuesday.
The website reported a temperature of -27 F (or about -33 C) at the Springbank Airport.
The only place colder – anywhere – was the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica, where it was -36 F (or -38 C), according to wx-now.com.
The weather- and astronomy-tracking website is operated by Inner Drive Technology, a Chicago-based developer of custom software applications.
A little closer to home, Environment Canada forecasts a high in Calgary of -20 C for Tuesday – we'll take it – and an overnight low of -26 C.
Temperatures should improve through the rest of the week in Calgary. Environment Canada predicts highs of -13 C Wednesday, - 5 C Thursday, and 1 C Friday.
By the way, the forecast highs for the rest of the week in Iqaluit are 2 C Wednesday, zero Thursday, and 1 C Friday. Book your vacation now.
