After a chilly couple of days, the nation’s capital is starting to thaw a bit…to around -20 C.
The beginning of the week saw temperatures with a wind chill of around -30 C, keeping some inside for fear of frostbite and others braving the cold to take advantage of the canal. Over the frigid few days, Environment Canada did not issue an extreme cold warning, noting the threshold for such a warning is -35 C or colder for at least two hours.
On Thursday, things are finally warming up a bit and bringing snow.
The weather agency says that there could be between 2 to 4 centimetres of snow today in the nation’s capital. Temperatures will hover around -7 C with a wind chill of -19 C this morning, rising to -13 C in the afternoon.
