Update: Commenter Glacier pointed out the Sikanni Chief data was incorrect. The monthly summary was not based on correct daily data.
Dease Lake replaces Sikanni Chief.

The SIKANNI CHIEF reading was an error. It was actually only about -13 that day… http://www.climate.weatheroffice.gc.ca/climateData/hourlydata_e.html?timeframe=1&Prov=BC&StationID=1440&dlyRange=1990-09-01|2013-04-05&Year=2013&Month=3&Day=11
Thanks
I’ve noticed that Environment Canada makes a lot of mistakes and errors these days.
Been on vacation and just got back.
Eureka also holds the record for the coldest mean month in North America
-47.9C in February 1979….thankfully, I arrived in March!!!
