This frigid winter day will open with a light dusting of snow, so prepare for slick roads when venturing out. The air will feel biting with a temperature around 1°C, but wrapping yourself in layers is essential as the wind chill will make it feel closer to -4°C. Drive cautiously, as one centimeter of accumulation is expected by mid-morning.
By the afternoon, the snow should begin to taper off leaving behind a mostly cloudy sky. Dress warmly, as the temperature will only climb slightly to 3°C, though the wind chill will still make it feel like a frosty -2°C. There’s a possibility of a shower later in the day, so keeping an umbrella on hand wouldn’t be a bad idea.
As nightfall arrives, expect mostly cloudy skies and no additional precipitation. However, temperatures will continue to drop, so bundle up if you’re going out in the evening. Monday promises a slight reprieve with mostly sunny skies backstage. While scattered flurries are in the forecast, it’s welcomed news as temperatures will be more bearable at a frigid -6°C, but potentially feeling like a bone-chilling -13°C thanks to the wind. Enjoy the premium sunshine while it lasts, as we’ll likely be back to the clouds soon enough.
With another inch of snow projected for Monday, remember to drive cautiously and prioritize warmth both outside and indoors. Curl up with a good book, indulge in a cup of comforting hot chocolate, or catch up on a favorite movie.
