One township can officially call itself the cold weather capital of Ontario today. Chapleau in the northern district of Sudbury is among the coldest places in the world right now, according to the online weather database Wx-Now.
The temperature in Chapleau today is a bone-chilling -21 C, feeling like -32 C. However, Environment Canada has issued an extreme cold warning for the region saying that wind chill values of -40 C are expected.
That makes it one of the 15 coldest places in the world, alongside several other regions in Canada like Winnipeg, Spiritwood West and Prince Albert in Saskatchewan, and Eureka and Shepherd Bay in Nunavut.
