Coldest Hallowe'en in decades
Ottawa experienced the coldest Hallowe'en morning in decades on Saturday.
The official low temperature at the Ottawa Airport was -8.4°C, well below the previous airport record of -6.1°C set in 1988; however, the temperature does not match the coldest known recorded low for Oct. 31.
In 1925, weather observers in the capital recorded a low of -10.6°C on Oct. 31.
By Saturday afternoon, the temperature warmed to a high of 6.5°C, which is about two to three degrees cooler than the seasonal average for this time of year.
