Ontario enters March with frigid cold snap as wind chills plummet

Most of Ontario is under an extreme cold warning as a blast of arctic air delivers biting wind chills. Environment Canada is warning of wind chill values between -30 C and -40 C across much of southern and eastern Ontario throughout Friday morning, which could cause frostbite to quickly develop on exposed skin.

March may not be roaring in like a lion in Toronto, but it’s certainly not sheepishly arriving like a lamb.

With the wind chill, Environment Canada is forecasting temperatures as low as -24 early Monday morning.

Other areas of southern Ontario were experiencing even colder temperatures, with lows into the -20s, and windchills reaching -30.

Further north, areas like Thunder Bay were seeing bone-chilling temperatures into the -30s, and a wind chill of nearly -40.

Snow is not likely in Toronto, and the extreme cold will likely be short lived, with above zero temperatures returning to many parts of the province by Tuesday.
