Regina's temperatures overnight and this morning were colder than the majority of the province. Last night Environment Canada issued a Wind-chill warning for wind-chill values around -40 C overnight and morning. Insanely enough, -40 was not the case and on top of that they actually cancelled the warning before a.m., which could have proven dangerous.
Throughout last night and this morning the temperature continued to drop in Regina, and reached its peak at 10 a.m.: -36 C with a wind-chill of -48 C! For anyone who has never experienced -48 wind-chill, I can explain it like this: in a 8 minute walk my sunglasses literally froze, the brim of my hood turned white as did my scarves (yes I wore 2), AND my headphones were so stiff they did not move as I walked!
As mentioned this is short-lived, and the forecast by Monday is calling for the same warm front hitting Alberta now, which is giving them temperatures between 0 C and +10 C! Saskatchewan will see temperatures between 0 and -5 C.
In the meantime, stay warm!
