We've been shivering under a dome of cold, Arctic air for more than a week, but there is finally relief in sight. Last week, the static air temperature in Yorkton was -38 Celsius one morning, and windchills were -52 in some areas.
That's all supposed to end today, as milder air finally pushes in. We're looking at a high of -10 today, and possibly -1 tomorrow. Which could cause problems. If it does get that warm, there's a very good chance we'll get pavement frost, which can make for some dicey driving. It also raises the prospect of possible broken water lines.
On the positive side, we won't have to plug in our cars for hours on end, and scraping the windshield will be easier. The warmer weather is supposed to be with us most of this week, and possibly the rest of the month.
But we in the west shouldn't complain too much about the cold. We could be in Newfoundland, where 76 centimeters fell, and was pushed around by wind gusts of 130 km/h.
And it will get colder again, since we still have weeks of winter left.
