Record breaking summer

This is a record breaking summer! It's suppose to be warming up until the middle of Jauary but being a record breaking summer, the temperature is getting colder and might not reach zero degrees F. The weather has set new records for this past week.

On the 18th the temperature was -32.7C/ -26.9F and broke the 1977 record of -32.2C/ -26F.
The 19th the temperature was -32.7C/ -26.9F and broke the 1983 record of -31.8C/ -25.2F.
The 20th the temperature was -32.2C/ -26F which broke the 1983 record of -31.9C/ -25.4F.

So these 3 days were record breaking days even though it was by some tenth of a degree. If it keeps getting colder, the summer folks might be going home sooner than planned. The airplanes can't fly in weather colder than -50F so with the colder summer, winter season might come in sooner than thought. We'll just have to wait and see how the weather holds out.
