Kenora Endures Coldest Winter in almost a Century

It's been a miserable winter across northwestern Ontario, but it's not
the coldest on record.

Bill Laidlaw from Signal Weather Services says historical records show
the winter of 1916/1917 was actually much worse.

He says back then, the average temperature during December, January and February was -22 celcius.

This year, the average winter temperature in Kenora has been about -18.

There's not a lot of relief in sight.

Environment Canada says Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec can all expect colder than normal conditions during the month of March.
