The Snow May Have Ended, But the Bone-Chilling Cold Remains
Environment Canada has issued cold warnings for much of southern Ontario, with wind chills near -40°C expected in some areas.
These warnings cover areas from Windsor, Ontario, to the Ontario-Quebec border, including the Greater Toronto Area and Ottawa.
In Toronto, wind chills could reach -30°C to -35°C overnight and early Friday morning, while Ottawa and other parts of eastern Ontario may experience wind chills between -33°C and -38°C.
As a result, residents are advised to dress warmly and be aware of signs of frostbite, which can develop within minutes on exposed skin. Symptoms of frostbite include changes in color in the fingers and toes, pain, numbness, tingling, or swelling.
This deep freeze follows a record-breaking weekend storm that dumped 46 centimeters of snow at Pearson International Airport and more than 50 centimeters in various parts of the city.
City officials have reported that it will take several days to clear all the snow fully. They acknowledged that many sidewalks and narrow side streets remain difficult to navigate, particularly for individuals pushing strollers or using mobility aids.
In a recent update, the city noted that reports of sidewalk issues had decreased over the past 24 hours and that crews are responding promptly to service calls.
