Coldest daytime highs in Vancouver history (1898-present).

Using New Westminster to approximate Vancouver, we can see that the extreme lows were colder in 1875 than 1950. For example, 2 days in a row of -20.6C in New Westminster in Jan 1875. The highs were above -9C, so no record low highs. Also, the days before were -19.4C and -18.3C. The coldest lows at New West outside of this period from 1950 and 1943 (-18.9C and -18.3C respectively). No data exists from 1893.

In terms of the lowest high both NOVEMBER 1896 and Jan 13, 1950 hold the record at -12.2C.
