Just when you probably thought Montreal was getting a break from harsh winter, the weather is taking a sharp turn back to the cold. Mild temperatures across Canada in December were just a teaser. January will show its true colours with a colder, more typical winter grip.
Eastern Canada is bracing for some of the coldest air of the season, as a wave of Arctic chill is set to plunge temperatures from Ontario to Nova Scotia this week, including Southern Quebec. The frosty grip, extending all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico, follows a blizzard in far Northern Canada, where Nunavut saw temperatures plummet into the -40s.
