Record prairie warmth

As we sit at a cold -13C this evening on Ile Perrot some of the warmest weather ever for January is occurring across the northern plains from Minnesota into the Dakotas and north in the Prairie provinces. Here is a list of the record warmth today in Saskatchewan. I use to live in Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan, and the nearest official reporting station to my old home is Assiniboia which has now had consecutive record highs.
