		I think it's colder today than it was yesterday.  It says -37C for tomorrow morning.  That's without the windchill.  Would probably be like -50C or so with windchill.

		-50F is even possible? 
 
-1F is enough to freeze water in like 15 minutes... 
 
you wouldn't last like 5 minutes outside

		-50 is absolutely possible 
3 or 4 years ago it was -40f(-40c) for 3 weeks strait up here.* 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
*At some points this was do to a windchill.

		Coldest temperature physically possible is about -460F or -273C.  That is absolute zero (0 K) which is the absence of thermal energy.  Basically no atoms move at all.  I don't think it is physically possible to remove all thermal energy, but they have gotten extremely close.  Like to 0.0001 of a degree within absolute zero.  That's called the Bose–Einstein condensate which was just on NOVA about 2 weeks ago. 
 
Space is about 2.7K which is -454F, or -270C. 
 
On earth coldest temp recorded was -89C, which is -128F or 183K in Antarctica. So -40 or -50 on the Canadian prairies isn't that unheard of.

That's called the Bose–Einstein condensate which was just on NOVA about 2 weeks ago.
