Guess who's back?

If you guessed "Old Man Winter" you're right! Don't get excited...there's no prize. Winter is set to return and if you need proof just look to the west. As I write this at 6pm, it is currently -17 in Sakatoon, a chilly -20 in Regina and -20 in Winnipeg (although in Winnipeg it feels like -33 with the wind chill). That mass of cold air over the prairies is pushing in from the northwest. As we see an area of low pressure depart that northwesterly flow of wind will put us in the deep freezer here in the Kawarthas. Expect a high of only -7 tomorrow and a low below -20. Tomorrow night will feel below -30 with the wind and Friday and Saturday look to be just as cold (or colder). On the bright side...expect the canal to be open to skaters soon.
