WNU Editor: I have experienced extreme cold temperatures before. Twenty years ago I was in the Urals of Russia in January and the temperature was -48C. I was in Labrador city (Canada) 15 years ago in February and the temperature was -43C. At my chalet in the Laurentians of Quebec I have had a few -40C days. But last night and early this morning .... in Montreal .... it was -26C with a windchill of about -44C .... and I can this without any hesitation .... this has been the worse.
