Prayers up.
I had no idea the town was so far to the north. Tundra zone, almost.
It must get -40 degrees there in the winter.
Fort McMurray is about 235 miles NNE of Edmonton, so it can get VERY cold in the winter. Unlike Calgary, Fort McMurray does not get chinooks. Being so far North, it has even shorter days than Edmonton in the winter, though in the summer, an unrushed 18 hole round of golf can be started at 8:00PM, with no problem.
