As another day of deep freeze began, Saskatchewan was just about the coldest place in the country.

In a rare move, Environment Canada issued extreme cold weather warnings for the entire province.

Stony Rapids, in the province's far north, had the lowest temperature in Canada at 7 a.m. CST: –42.9 C.

The province's "hot spot" was the Cypress Hills area in the extreme southwest, where it was a less-than-balmy –25 C early this morning.
