Today is the last full day of this cold snap, with the Ottawa area getting above zero by the end of the weekend.

Wind chill was making it feel around -28 before sunrise in Ottawa, with the air sitting at -18 C.

By noon, the wind chill shouldn't have as much of an edge and the capital should be up to -14 C under sunny skies.

Today's high is -12 C.

The warmest it got yesterday in Ottawa was -17 C, its lowest high since the end of January.

Tonight's no picnic with an expected low of -20 C — but not all that much wind chill — then Saturday serves as a transition of sorts, with a high of -8 C and overnight low of -12 C.

Sunday's high is 1 C and Monday's high is 3 C (the sun will start rising earlier and setting later those days too).

In Kingston, that looks like a Saturday high of -3 C to start winter turning into highs of 3 and 5 C Sunday and Monday.

Maniwaki hunkers down a few degrees below zero Sunday before popping up to 3 C Monday.

Still no snow, freezing rain or rain in the cards if you or yours have holiday travel plans.
