Today’s Forecast – Skies Clearing, But the Cold Holds Steady
Today will see some welcome clearing as those early morning clouds give way to sunnier skies. However, don’t expect the sunshine to bring much warmth.
Temperatures will peak at a chilly -4°C this afternoon, and with a north wind picking up to 20 km/h, the wind chill will still bite—starting at a frosty -23 this morning and improving only to -10 by the afternoon.
The UV index will be a moderate 3, so if you’re soaking in those rare rays, a little sunscreen isn’t a bad idea. But more importantly, keep bundled up. The wind may be light, but it’s got an icy edge.
Tonight and the Days Ahead – Flurries Lurk as Winter Keeps a Grip

Wardrobe Suggestion
Today’s wardrobe essentials? Think “mid-January in disguise.” Insulated boots, a heavy parka, and something fleece-lined will serve you well. Gloves are non-negotiable, and a toque will make the difference between a pleasant walk and a frozen forehead. Bonus points if your scarf can double as face protection.
