THUNDER BAY — Put those mittens on your kittens this morning. It is chilly this morning and on the morning commute it was nice to have on light gloves.

No Environment and Climate Change Canada weather alerts were active for Ontario at the 6:11 a.m. EST package check. The principal concern is the morning cold, with wind chills near -14 around Kakabeka Falls.

Weather trivia
November sunshine has limited heating power in Thunder Bay because the sun remains low in the sky and daylight is short. Clear skies can also allow temperatures to drop quickly after sunset.
