Since 2000, there have been six years (2001, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2016, 2023) where the temperature in Calgary never got below -30 at all. In the previous 115 years there were nine such years, one of which was 1999.
If you remember temperatures hitting -40, you're either talking about wind-chill or you're very old. Calgary has not reported a low temperature of -40 or colder since 1954.

I think we're just talking about today so far. It's -20. Fairly standard issue for a Calgary day in January.
