This is the coldest air so far this season, for some in many years, with dangerous wind chills to an extent not always experienced when it gets cold. The risk of frostbite and hypothermia is why this cold should be taken seriously.
The latest guidance is projecting temperatures early Saturday morning will range -32 C to -23 C across the Maritimes and western Labrador, with the coldest temperatures in New Brunswick and western Labrador, but some spots likely below -30 C in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
Temperatures will climb on Saturday but remain well into the minus teens and minus 20s, with sustained winds 30 to 50 km/h gusting 50 to 80 km/h, allowing biting wind chills to continue. It’s important to remember that wind chills between -28 and -39 C can lead to frostbite on exposed skin in 10 to 30 minutes, and wind chills of -40 to -47 can cause skin to freeze in five to 10 minutes.A cold front crossing leading this airmass is carrying bands of snow and rain showers for the Maritimes this morning. The front and an offshore system will bring more widespread snow into Newfoundland, which will mix with rain on the south and east coasts.
