Environment Canada says it was among the coldest February 18ths on record in one southern Alberta community.

Not counting the wind chill, they say the temperature dipped to a low of -29.4 degrees Celsius on Tuesday.

That ties the record the town set for the day in 2011.

Another two cold records were set elsewhere in the province on Tuesday.
