Tuesday

-30 is what it felt like with wind chill Monday night as temperatures fell back into the -20s overnight before warming up into the minus teens with wind chills in the -20s to start the day.

Light snow started the day, enough to make for a slippery morning commute with visibility dropping to a few kilometres by noon as we warmed up into minus single digits.

Winds picked up during the afternoon with gusts upwards of 40 to 50 km/h as light snow continued reducing visibility and deteriorating road conditions at times as we rose up to a daytime high around the freezing mark.
