With the temperature in Greater Sudbury -36 C as of 9 a.m. (it was even a bit colder than that earlier), today's temperature is definitely record-breaking.
The coldest recorded temperature for Jan. 28 before today was -31.7 C in 1971.
The weather over the weekend was also record-breaking.

Greater Sudbury is under a couple of different weather alerts.
Unsurprisingly, the city is under an extreme cold warning.
Extreme wind chills of minus 40 to minus 50 will continue early this morning before cloud cover develops this morning, helping to moderate temperatures into this afternoon, the warning said.
Cloud cover and milder temperatures tonight will prevent wind chills from falling to warning criteria.
However, below seasonal temperatures will continue over Northern Ontario through the rest of the week, with wind chill values once again falling to the minus 40 to minus 45 range over areas northwest of Lake Superior and to the minus 35 to 40 range over areas east of Lake Superior.
Extreme cold puts everyone at risk.
Dress warmly. Dress in layers that you can remove if you get too warm. The outer layer should be wind resistant.
The city is also under a special weather statement, with significant snowfall expected later today and into Tuesday morning.
Snow, at times heavy, will develop later this afternoon or early evening and persist into Tuesday morning. Total snowfall amounts of 10 to 15 centimetres are possible.
Travel may become hazardous due to reduced visibilities in heavy snow and blowing snow.
This snow is associated with an Alberta Clipper that will cross the area.
