November in Canada can be brisk, and one province has been blasted with especially cruel temperatures this week. So grab those mittens, because four of the top five coldest places on Earth right now are in Canada.

According to a new weather report from WX-Now, which tracks the world’s most extreme weather, spots in Antarctica and Russia are the only spots outside of Canada that made the list early Wednesday morning.

The coldest place on the planet today is the Amundsen-Scott weather station in Antarctica with a brutal -39ÂșC. Yikes!

Kicking off the Canadian cold reign is Three Hills, Alberta, which is in second place at -31ÂșC followed by Sundre, Alberta, at -31ÂșC and Pollockville, Alberta, at a brisk -30ÂșC.
