- I'm sure somewhere on the web you can find the tempurature for the day - I bet in some stats pages for the olymics. If not email enviroment Canada. -- I believe that was true. The opening was also the largest for a winter olympics. Prior to these games opening/closing was done in much smaller venues. [User:Themepark|Themepark]]
