Some of you guys are already eliminated for the coldest temp. in BC. It was -38.8C in Dease Lake this morning.
I think we can reach at least -42C.

By "Liard River" I assume you mean Mucho Lake. I notice just now that both Muncho Lake and Tetsa River have daily recording weather stations again! The manual stations seemed to have stopped in 2015.

EDIT: False alarm... only hourly data, no daily data still...

Back in November of 1985 Redstone (just downriver from Puntzi) was below -45. The Puntzi station was not in operation then, but was in December of 1968 when it set all the all time provincial December record at -52.8C (-63F). I double it will get close to that, but -42 to -45 is possible.

A few thoughts...

- Nearly everyone went too warm for the extreme low.
- Midnight highs last night are going to screw some people.
- Cloud cover is going to screw up a lot the overnight low predictions, and also cap afternoon temperatures lower.

Yeah, the nearest station to Liard River. I see now that it appears to be Muncho Lake, at least thats where the EC readings are taken. :thumbup:
