February in Canada can be chilly, and parts of the country have been blasted with especially cruel and cold temperatures this week.

According to a new weather report from WX-Now, which tracks the world’s most extreme weather, the top 10 coldest places in Canada on Thursday, February 23, 2023, were all colder than -37°C.

The coldest place in the country today is Deadmen Valley, Northwest Territories, with a brutal -41ºC. Second place goes to Rea Point, Nunavut, at -40°C, followed by Wekweeti and Whati in the Northwest Territories, both at -39°C. Factor in the wind chill for Whati and it’s a mind-numbing -49°C. Yikes!

When it comes to the coldest place in the whole world, only one spot has Deadmen Valley beat — Antarctica. Those must be some cold penguins!
