The January 2025 North American cold wave was an extreme weather event that brought extremely cold temperatures to a majority of the Lower 48 of the continental United States, as well as the countries of Canada and Mexico as well throughout most of January 2025.
The 1994 North American cold wave occurred over the midwestern and eastern regions of the United States and southern Canada in January 1994. The cold wave caused over 100 deaths in the United States. Two notable cold air events took place from January 18–19 and January 21–22. There were 67 minimum temperature records set on January 19. [1]
The 1985 North America cold wave [1] was a meteorological event which occurred in January 1985 as a result of the shifting of the polar vortex farther south than is normally seen. [1] Blocked from its normal movement, polar air from the north pushed into nearly every section of the central and eastern half of the United States and Canada ...
Maximum temperature map of the United States from 1871-1888 Minimum temperature map of the United States from 1871-1888.. For the United States, the extremes are 134 °F (56.7 °C) in Death Valley, California in 1913 and −79.8 °F (−62.1 °C) recorded in Prospect Creek, Alaska in 1971.

[1] February 1936 was the coldest February on record in the contiguous U.S., narrowly eclipsing February 1899. [2] It also was the coldest month ever in Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
The cold snap in Montreal began with a blizzard where base temperatures reached −15 °C (5 °F). The combination with a single-day 25 centimetres (10 in) snowfall was the coldest snowiest day in nearly a century. [53] The Fête des neiges winter festival was cancelled due to the extreme cold for the first time in a decade. [54]
Satellite measurements of the surface temperature of Antarctica, taken between 1982 and 2013, found a coldest temperature of −93.2 °C (−135.8 °F) on 10 August 2010, at Although this is not comparable to an air temperature, it is believed that the air temperature at this location would have been lower than the official record lowest air ...
