February Was The Coldest Month Ever

Sarnia-Lambton residents should be very happy February is finally over.

Environment Canada's Senior Climatologist David Phillips says it was a record month for the area.

Phillips says the average temperature for February was -12 C (10 F), eight degrees below normal.

He says not only was it the coldest February recorded, it was the coldest month ever.
