A breezy easterly wind with gusts upwards of 50 km/h picked up during the morning and helped hold temperatures steady around -5 heading into the noon hour.
The mercury is expected to rise a few more degrees toward the freezing mark during the afternoon as gusty winds and mostly cloudy skies continue.
Tuesday night
Freezing rain is likely, potentially for up to a few hours late Tuesday evening before transitioning over to snow with ice pellets possible in between, creating a slick Wednesday morning commute as we cool to -7 overnight.

Don’t forget that there may be a layer of ice under some fresh snow on the ground as you head out Wednesday morning with wind chills around -13 to start the day.
More snow is likely to fall, particularly during the morning, before easing during the day as we rise to an afternoon high around -4 C.

A few sunny breaks are possible Thursday and Friday with periods of cloudy skies and a slight chance of flurries at times to finish the final two days of November.
