Record lows hit Alberta
as Arctic air moves East
Canadian Western provinces feel Arctic blast
with wind chill of –55
Blustery weather is blowing into much of Ontario and Quebec, leaving behind frigid temperatures that have shattered records across Alberta.
On Wednesday, dozens of communities across the province were hit with temperatures below –30 C, and 13 of them were hit with record lows. In the town of Hendrickson Creek, Alta., it was a bone-chilling –41.4 C.
The frigid temperatures prompted Canada Olympic Park to cancel lessons and close the ski area.
"It gets a little bit too cold and for the safety of our guests and our staff we just feel it's not necessary to open on that [cold] a day," said Dale Oviatt, who works at Canada Olympic Park.
CBC Edmonton meteorologist Stephanie Barsby said the cold arctic air is sinking from north to south. "So in fact, northern Alberta will see improvement before southern Alberta will," Barsby said.
At the Edmonton airport, temperatures dipped to –34.4 C Wednesday, but Barsby said things should improve in the days to come. The city was expected to see small temperature gains over the next couple of days and a big jump going into the weekend — but with that comes some snow, Barsby said.
The story was similar across much of the Prairies, with temperatures hovering around –25 C or below in many parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
In northern Manitoba, the bitter cold forced Via Rail to delay its train service from Churchill to Winnipeg on Tuesday night, leaving it 16 hours behind schedule Wednesday.
Via Rail spokesman Malcolm Andrews said that nighttime temperatures around –30 C — which felt more like –50 C with the wind chill — caused the delay. Via Rail's service to and from Churchill rarely gets delayed by cold weather, he added.

In the 1950s, fur coats were the epitome of glamour and sophistication. While real fur is definitely not okay today, faking it doesn’t have to be limited to just your tan. Snuggle up in some faux fur!

Arctic air blast sweeps
from West to East
Western provinces feel Arctic blast with wind chill of –55CBC News January 18, 2012
The snowy weather has caused countless crashes, including this one on the Coquihalla, submitted to the CBC by Anthony Melder.
Ontario residents near the lower Great Lakes will see temperatures in the –4 to –6 C range, while Ottawa and Montreal will be a frostier –12 C, CBC meteorologist Johanna Wagstaffe reported Wednesday."The story today from pretty much coast to coast is winter has arrived," says Wagstaffe. By early Wednesday, the fierce freezing rain and wind storm that rolled through Quebec left more than 80,000 homes and businesses without power.
Conditions are forecast to be clear for most of Ontario and Quebec on Wednesday, with the chilly temperatures expected to linger for the next couple of days.
"There are some snow squall watches towards Lake Superior, but it's mainly a mix of sun and cloud. Watch for those snow squalls, though," said Wagstaffe.
On Tuesday, much of Eastern Canada and especially southern Quebec saw freezing rain and snow. But Toronto was covered in a thick blanket of fog — leading to some flight cancellations at Toronto's Pearson airport — and reached a record 10 C.
Farther north, however, Sudbury received 20 centimetres of snow on Tuesday, topping the previous record of 11.7 centimetres in 1965. North Bay had 13 centimetres of snow, while Montrealers got about nine centimetres.Warm front moves through Maritimes
Farther east, the Maritimes will see showers and enjoy the last of the warm front before temperatures take a 15-degree plunge in the evening. "We're still looking at fog across the Maritimes, which is seeing the last of the warm air.… but that cold front is quickly sweeping east," said Wagstaffe.
On P.E.I., islanders will see a wild temperature swing. Highs on Wednesday are forecast to hit 6 C, before plummeting to –12 C overnight.Arctic winds blast West
Winter bites Saskatoon
Cold, blustery weather is blowing into much of Ontario and Quebec — knocking out power to more than 80,000 customers — while the western provinces face wind-chills that make it feel as cold as –55 C.

The West, however, is bracing for the frostiest temperatures. From B.C. toManitoba, the Arctic winds are bringing extreme wind-chills — making it feel as cold as –55.
That's time to bundle up or stay inside: at those chilly temperatures, exposed skin can get frostbite in as little as two minutes.
A rare "Arctic outflow" warning has been issued for Metro Vancouver, for wind chill that feels like –20. The cold winds, coupled with the 20 centimetres of snow that fell across southern B.C. on Tuesday, are creating blizzard-like conditions on Wednesday. Victoria is forecast to see snow and strong winds. "This is the coldest day of the season," said Wagstaffe.
In Edmonton, a number of school boards have cancelled school bus service, due to the extreme wind chill warnings. School buses have also been cancelled in parts of Saskatchewan.
The Arctic winds and treacherous road conditions forced the closures of some schools in Victoria, while the storm left about 4,600 Chilliwack homes and businesses without power Wednesday.
There will be no reprieve from the cold weather until Saturday, when temperatures in the West are forecast to reach a more seasonable –10 to –20 C. In Winnipeg, commuters faced a chaotic morning commute on slippery roads.
The wintry weather is also taking a toll in the Northwest Territories, leaving serious damage to the Inuvik airport's roof overnight. The high winds and blowing snow even sent a hot tub drifting down the main street in Inuvik.Via the CBC
