Along with a few more centimetres of snow, some very chilly temperatures are expected over the next two mornings in Ottawa.
Wednesday night's low into Thursday morning is being predicted to hit -18 C, while Thursday's overnight low into Friday could hit -17 C.
Doug Gillham, Meteorologist for The Weather Network, tells The Rick Gibbons Show, those temperatures could break daily November records.
“We're going to rival, and potentially even break some record low temperatures Thursday morning and possibly Friday morning,” he said. “Those records were set in 1972.”

Gillham provided some good news, as the capital region is expected to see some warm weather sweep through the weekend, however it will not be enough to melt all the snow that has fallen.
The meteorologist added that November is a complicated month to monitor because it varies year to year. One good example is Ottawa's snowfall for this month — it's already almost double the amount of snow from last November.
