The cold was caused by a southern migration of the polar vortex, likely caused by a sudden stratospheric warming event that occurred the prior month. On 7 February 2021 Uranium City, Saskatchewan, equaled their all time coldest temperature of \u221248.9 \u00b0C (\u221256.0 \u00b0F) previously recorded on 15 January 1974. In Winnipeg, Manitoba, the high temperature did not rise above -20.0 \u00b0C (\u22124.0 \u00b0F) for 9 consecutive days, the longest period since 1996. On 7 February 2021, the International Airport weather station in Edmonton, Alberta, recorded a low temperature of -43.6 \u00b0C (\u221246.5 \u00b0F) with two consecutive lows below -40.0 \u00b0C (\u221240.0 \u00b0F).\u00a0<sup id=\"cite_ref-13\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wpuf_customs\"><li><label>Country:<\/label> Canada<\/li><li><label>Date \/ Time:<\/label> 20210201<\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1850,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"categories":[1,296],"eventtype":[],"nbs_media":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/citadine.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/nbs_event\/1849"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/citadine.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/nbs_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/citadine.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/nbs_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citadine.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citadine.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1849"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/citadine.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/nbs_event\/1849\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citadine.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/citadine.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citadine.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1849"},{"taxonomy":"eventtype","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citadine.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Feventtype&post=1849"},{"taxonomy":"nbs_media","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citadine.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fnbs_media&post=1849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
