Extreme cold weather snap contributes to 3 electricity records in Alberta, Canada.
With the windchill plunging into the -40 C range and with limited daylight hours, Alberta set three records in a row for electricity consumption.
The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) said the province used a record hourly average amount of electricity between 5 and 6 p.m. on Dec. 8, reaching 11,442 megawatts (MW).
That number surpassed the Dec. 7 record of 11,404 MW and the Dec. 5 record of 11,400 MW. read more

I hate when I can play ice hockey in my backyard.
