WEATHER: Extreme cold warning in effect for GTA and most of Ontario
Thursday for a large swath of the country, including the GTA.
The agency advised people to cover up any exposed skin, in order to avoid frostbite, which can develop within minutes. It also warned that the risk from the extreme cold is greater for young children, older adults, those with chronic illnesses, those who are without proper shelter, and those working or exercising outdoors.
A high of -13 C is expected during the day on Friday, warming up to a high of -4 C on Saturday and a high of 3 C on Sunday.Ironically, the Extreme Cold Warning comes on Groundhog Day, when people across North America turn to a slightly less scientific method for forecasting the weather in the hopes of glimpsing an early spring.
While the groundhogs hold a revered place in tradition, Phillips cautioned not to put too much stock in their predictions.Still, he said the enduring tradition speaks to Canadians’ obsession with weather.
