弗莱寒冷气温

[SIZE="3"]New Brunswickers woke up to one chilly morning as the province experienced frigid temperatures that set records Friday morning.

Claude Cote, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, said communities across the province broke some long standing weather records.

The mercury dropped to [B][COLOR="Red"]–34.3 C[/COLOR][/B] in Fredericton Friday morning, which broke a record that was set in 1884.

"We did set some record cold temperatures in many communities including in Saint John and Moncton as well, but Fredericton was actually one of the oldest ones," Cote told CBC News on Friday.

However, the coldest ever recorded in January for the province still remained. That record was set in 1925 when the temperatures dropped to [B][COLOR="red"]–46.7 C[/COLOR][/B] in Chipman, N.B.

Cote said the arctic dome of air over the Maritime provinces was over the Prairies earlier this week. He said the temperatures were relatively mild in comparison to what the Prairies experienced.

"Winnipeg, a couple of mornings ago, there was a wind chill value in excess of [B][COLOR="red"]–51 C[/COLOR][/B] — probably one of the coldest registered in a major city in Canada," Cote said.

In Moncton, people like Stan Doucette were taking the bone-chilling temperatures in stride.

"We're lucky we've had a good winter so far really, so I don't think we should be complaining," Doucette said on Friday.

Cote said the windchill warning was expected to remain in effect until Saturday before it warms up on Sunday when a winter storm has been forecast to move across southern New Brunswick in the evening and Monday.[/SIZE]
