- It's -32 in Saskatoon, with a wind chill factor of -44. (This means that frostbite is likely after about five to ten minutes of exposure.) Today's high will be -21.
- It's -34 in Regina, with a wind chill of -46. Today's forecasted high in Regina is -23, and it's not going to get any warmer than -17 in the foreseeable future. (One thing I noticed: the normal temperatures for this time of year are higher in Saskatoon than Regina, even though Saskatoon is farther north. I don't get it.)
- Edmonton is a little better: a high of -11. But it's going to get colder there by the middle of next week.
- Thunder Bay is at -29, with a high of -23.
- Here in Toronto, it's -14. Today's high will be -8, and tomorrow's will be -13.
- Montreal is comparatively warm at -9, but it will get colder there next week.
- Fredericton will be at -2 today, but with 15 cm of snow. And it will get colder there next week too.
- I've left Winnipeg for last, as they're the coldest spot on the map. (Even Iqaluit, located way the heck up in the Arctic, is warmer.) Right now, the 'Peg is at -37, with a wind chill of -48. The high for today will be -26.
By the way: according to Environment Canada's wind chill research site, the wind chill level at which things start to get nasty is -27. Above that, people who stay outside for even as long as 45 minutes show little or no effects of frostnip. When it gets colder, the effects start getting rapidly worse. In Toronto, we'll be right on that borderline on Sunday.
