-10 °C isn't unusual for Ottawa and surrounding areas at this time of the year.

Even -25 °C is something most people who live in the region would be expecting and prepared to experience at various points throughout a typical winter.

It's been an unusually chilly January: https://twitter.com/YOW_Weather

Which is surprising, as the Rideau Canal opened for skating quite late this year.

Was there perhaps a typo in this?

>-10 °C isn't unusual for Ottawa

The parent comment was measuring in Fahrenheit

>Current temps are -10 °F

Conversion for the metric people: -10 °F is -23 °C
