Polar Vortex over Ontario for this week... minus 30 deg C

Polar Vortex over Ontario for this week...

Arctic air is expected for Sunday and most of next week, with the coldest conditions of the season set to flood through the province.
In parts of northern Ontario, the temperatures will drop about 24°C in just 24 hours, and roughly 30°C in 36 hours.

For many areas, these will actually be the coldest conditions felt in years.

Kenora: Monday's forecast high of -28°C would be the first time plunging that low since January 2019
London: An overnight low temperature of -22°C will be the coldest since 2022......send warm wishes to Arawak
Ottawa: An overnight low temperature of -27°C will be the coldest since February 2023
Toronto: Tuesday's daytime high of -15°C will be the coldest daytime high since January 2019

Colder-than-normal temperatures are expected to continue into the final week of January.The drop isn’t as extreme in southern Ontario, but most areas will see a noticeable, 12-degree temperature tumble from Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning, with a chillier, 20-degree plummet expected across central regions.

The first cold day will be Sunday, with the Arctic air mass staying in place until Wednesday.
Several days of lake-effect snow are likely for the snowbelts next week, as well, but changeable winds should spread the snow over a larger region and prevent exceptional snow totals.

Why don't you travel and do a few poojas up here:

Sudden drop in temperatures as Arctic air floods in
The first bitterly cold day will be Sunday, with the Arctic air mass staying in place until Wednesday. Expect Monday and Tuesday to feature the coldest temperatures.
Sunday morning featured wind chills near -40 in Thunder Bay, with Timmins, Ont., falling 26 degrees in just 24 hours.

Extreme cold warnings encompass all of northern Ontario from Timmins to Fort Severn and Kenora.
Dangerous and life-threatening wind chill of up to -50 are anticipated. Frostbite can develop in a matter of minutes.

And, as cold air infiltrates across Ontario, the lake-effect machine will be up and running over the next couple of days.
The lingering trough will hover over the Great Lakes over the next couple of days, triggering the lake-effect snowfall off of Lake Huron and Lake Erie through Sunday into Monday.
A shift in winds from Monday to Tuesday will trigger more lake-effect snow off Georgian Bay, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
A snow squall watch in place for the Lake Huron and southern Georgian Bay shores, highlighting up to 30 cm of snowfall, or more locally, through Wednesday.
"Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow," said Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) in the watch.
At the moment, Lake Huron is sitting at 4°C, Lake Erie is at 3°C and Lake Ontario is hovering at 1°C.

In reply to Jumpstart

Oh oh ....black ice that's nasty. Be careful even when walking.

I hit a patch of black ice. BMW spun 360° rotation a few times , but the car stayed on the road.
I had no control of the vehicle.

We were lucky no other vehicles were around.

I did see a few vehicles in the ditches.

In reply to Jumpstart

Its an experience, Jumpy... Winter

One must enjoy it...
Seeing snow for the first time
Then a snow storm..shoveling snow
Snowshoeing
Cross country skiing
Downhill skiing
Skating. Last night it was minus 20 °C. Skated on the Hamilton Harbour, 6 km.

If one keeps busy with such activities , winter progresses very quickly and is enjoyable.

But freezing rain and black ice are to avoid at all costs.
