The calendar turns to February this Sunday, but it seems this tough winter isn’t letting up just yet.
Environment Canada meteorologist Geoff Coulson mentioned that the dangerously cold temperatures will dominate the upcoming month.
“Even as we head into February, some of the long-range forecast models indicate the month of February is far colder than normal conditions right across southwestern and south central Ontario,” he said.
In the last few days of January, daytime highs are expected to hover around -10 C to -12 C, which is much lower than the average high of -3 C.
It won’t just be the cold that keeps us indoors next month.
Coulson noted that Waterloo Region should prepare for some significant lake effect snow coming from Lake Huron.
“Larger-scale storm systems are still a possibility, similar to the one that gave the snow on Sunday to much of the area,” said Coulson.
Snow totals in Waterloo Region have already surpassed long-term averages.
“So, unfortunately, for those who may not be fans of winter, it looks like we have a fair amount of winter left to go.”
Last February was quite snowy in Waterloo Region, with nearly 78 cm of snowfall.
