The Polar Vortex Is Currently Blasting This Canadian Province With Extreme -40°C Temperatures

March is the month where we officially think about springtime and the start of a new season. In fact, the first day of spring comes later this month on March 20, but you wouldn't know it by the weather right now. There is another polar vortex hitting Canada for the first 10 days of March and currently, it's blasting one Canadian province with extreme -40°C temperatures. The unlucky province today is Alberta. 

Across the entire province, Alberta is being slammed by the polar vortex and it means that in some places there, the current temperature is below -40°C. One example is Dapp, Alberta. The small hamlet just over 100 Km north of Edmonton is officially the coldest place in all of Canada this morning, according to Environment Canada. They are sitting at -41°C right now but in the rest of the province it's not much better.
