As a 14 year old boy, I lived in Edmonton in 1969. We had a record cold snap that lasted for weeks. It was a bit chilly there.
Highly unlikely anyone here remembers that.
In fact, tucked away in my filing cabinet is a newspaper article I clipped from the Edmonton journal after it was all over. I kept it for over 50 years.
It was still Farenheit back then.
I remember it well, it was proceeded by a thunderstorm and a good rain which left the whole city a sheet of ice. I was living in west Edmonton and working in St Albert. Driving was awful.
Those temperatures were in F. It was before we change to metric.
I had one of those certificates. I must have used it to light a fire in a subsequent cold snap.:)
