Temperatures are taking a massive plunge into the negatives and snow totals into the positives tomorrow!

Conditions are NOT looking good for tomorrow morning! The classic trifecta of bad commute is about to arrive: Cold, wind, and snow. No, you didn’t read that incorrectly. Snow.

Let’s start off with the temperature, where the it’ll probably not rise more than a degree until Tuesday morning, starting when I post this. At the time of writing, we’re at about 6 degrees, but that is already starting to decrease, and we’re looking like a low of…”It depends.” What it depends on is how far you want to count “night” to last, because we may not see the rounded-to-the-nearest-degree temperature go up at all tomorrow in the day. So, we’ll just say it depends. This creates another complication of “what is day?” Yeah, we’re going to completely skip a low for tonight and a high for tomorrow, leaving us all the way at tomorrow night, with a gargantuan low of -5. (That lands us at 5 degrees below normal, which is considered “very cold” for this time of year)

Next up, wind. Breezy conditions are expected to start up overnight tonight, and persist until the early evening tomorrow, with winds of 20 km/h gusting to 45. Of course, the worst is right when we’re going to be going to school and work.

Finally, the moment that we’ve all been anticipating – Snow! Don’t worry, (but actually you really should) it’s only a light dusting. It looks like very light snow will begin around sunrise, and continue until the evening. Total amounts range from a few millimetres to a little over a centimetre, with the most likely amount being about half a centimetre. This is not good, because all that snow will accumulate on top of frozen puddles, meaning lots of slipping, sliding fun and catastrophes.
