Relief from the frigid weather is on its way.
Environment Canada has ended its extreme cold warning for Hamilton as a milder air mass moves into the region Tuesday.
The city plunged into a deep freeze over the weekend, and the temperature bottomed out at -21 C at 8 a.m. Monday.
With the wind chill, it felt like -31 overnight.
However, despite the frigid conditions, this was not the coldest Jan. 21 on record for Hamilton.
