Say goodbye to the snow and bring on the freezing cold.
For the first time in weeks, any GTA residents leaving the house had to dig themselves out of some snow on Wednesday morning.
A Texas low moved in to the region on Tuesday morning and lingered throughout much of the day, bringing 7 to 11 centimetres across most of the GTA. Toronto Pearson ended up with 9.2 centimetres.
That’s it for the snowfall, but once the shovelling is done you may just want to head back inside for the rest of the week. The coldest air so far this season is on the way, especially for the end of the week.
Friday and Saturday mornings will see wind chills near -24.
An Extreme Cold Weather Alert will likely go into effect on Wednesday ahead of the coldest temperatures heading into the weekend.
Extreme Cold Weather Alert will likely be issued today for #Toronto but the coldest air of the season so far arrives end of week. Expect wind chill to be near -24 for early Friday and early Saturday morning ????
