Global warming has consequences.
Polar vortex threatening dangerously cold weather for Canada
It has been predicted by meteorologists and forecasters for months, most of Canada will experience a particularly cold and snowy winter. As we approach the end of the year, it looks like these previous predictions are coming to fruition, but there are still some areas that will be spared.
Chris Scott, chief meteorologist at The Weather Network told Yahoo Canada News there is a big swirl of a polar vortex on its way that is bringing cold temperatures to much of Canada, from Saskatchewan and Manitoba, to Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes.
“The big story is it’s really winter asserting itself for practically the whole nation,” Scott said. “Winter’s entrenched and we’re going to be dealing with either a lot of cold or some snow in much of the country.”
According to Scott, southern Ontario, particularly around Toronto, will see wind chills at -20 C or even -30 C as we head into Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Environment Canada has issued a special weather alert for 10 cm to 15 cm of snow on its way for Toronto tonight and into Friday.
“We’re going to be talking about that type of cold that we really haven’t experience in a couple of years coming back after we get this mess off precipitation over the weekend, and with that we’ve got some more chances of snow,” Scott said.
