While 25 cm of snow and wind chill values of -30°C sounds rough, the GTA will be getting off easy in comparison to other areas of Ontario. Over in Thunder Bay, the high is expected to only reach -21°C while their expected wind chill will range from -28°C to a bone-chilling -50°C.

Between the fresh snow and high winds, drivers are being cautioned considering driving conditions will be significantly rougher than normal.

As usual with chillier temperatures like these, Environment Canada is cautioning anyone going outside to take the necessary precautions.

Canadians should be checking the weather before leaving the house, dressing appropriately, considering rescheduling their plans if they are occurring outside and helping out vulnerable friends or family if they are in need of help with preparing.
