If you thought this February was cold, you would be right, but more so then usual. This February is one of the coldest Februaries on record for average temperatures. The monthly means temperature, which is a combination of average day and night temperatures. Has been hovering right around the -23.3 mark while the normal values of what we can expect during this time of year should be -10.7. That is a difference of 12.6-degree in monthly average temperatures. If these averages hold out until the end of the month. That will mean we will have the second coldest month on record in the 97 years that records have been taken. We talked with Natalie Hazel from Environment Canada to see if there is going to be any reprieve from these temperatures or if the coldest February of the year will end up turning into the coldest March of the year as well, Natalie Hazel.

"Well, unfortunately, we seem to be stuck in this pattern which is often the case if you have already seen a lot of cold weather, often what we see is a blocked pattern, which means the airmass sticks around for a while and when we have that. Cold air takes longer to move. It's a heavy air mass and it ends up stick around quite a while."

Ms. Hazel did go on to mention that believes it or not we should see a slight warm up over the next few days as the cloud cover sticks around.

"Its actually because of the clouds that the system related to that cloud is giving you an influx of slightly warmer air for the next couple of days. Your warmest day should be Saturday if this forecast holds out. Saturdays high is -9 but then we will be under that ridge of arctic air again and it just gets cold again.

Ms. Hazel went on to say its almost impossible to give an accurate forecast more than a week into the future, but with any luck, there won't be too many more weeks of the extremely cold weather ahead.
