Yup, you're right...it's been colder than usual and we have a new weather record to prove it.

Environment Canada says North Bay set a new low yesterday...not only set it, but smashed it.

The old one set way back in 1989 was minus 21.5, well above the one set yesterday of minus 26.6.

It's expected to be much warmer tonight with temperature steady near minus 2.

Here's some other records from around the north.
