I don't think it can be LA as it hasn't been that cold there either. Perhaps 
it is up in Canada. I just know I want to figure out what it is. Thanks.

If the temps are in Celsius, it sure sounds like a Canadian beacon to
me.
I thought the TWEB (transcribed weather bcst) were being slowly phased
out,
and there were just a few big stations still running them. Do any of the
US airports report temps in Celsius? I have heard these bcst on GNI
236kHz,
Grand Isle, LA in the past. They are, I believe, 2 kw. which is very
high power
for a beacon. Many beacons are only in the 25 to 100 watt range.
