Don’t be fooled by the relatively warm weather we’ve had lately — you’ll need the winter gear if you’re heading out for the midnight countdown to 2020.

Between two and four centimetres of snow is expected Tuesday, starting with flurries in the morning.

“These will be the last flurries of the decade,” said Gerald Cheng, meteorologist for Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Temperatures will be about 1 C for most of the afternoon. It’s expected to be - 2 C in the evening but it’ll feel more like -7 C with the wind chill, according to Environment Canada.

Don’t be deceived by the above-seasonal temperatures, Cheng said.

“Even though the temperature seems warm, because of the wind and some breezy conditions it will feel colder than the temperature suggests,” Cheng said.

The agency issued a special weather advisory earlier in the day warning of heavy snow and strong winds, but the warning has ended.

The overnight wind chill is expected to spill over into the morning hours of New Year’s Day, feeling like -8 C with the wind chill. It will hit a high of 4 C later in the day.
