The winter weather whiplash is back.

After a snowy, balmy weekend – Sunday was hovering around 0 C as 13 cm of snow fell – Monday morning’s -16 C feels more like -27 with windchill.

Motorists should be extra cautious, too. Roads are slick in spots with the fire department reporting that they’re tackling a number of cars that have landed in the ditch, flipped or crash on slippery roads while police are warning drivers to clear cars thoroughly lest frozen snow become a “dangerous flying object.”

Even skaters should watch out with the National Capital Commission warning them to watch for snow-clearing operations Monday – although the good news is that all 7.8 km are open for skating.

Monday’s forecast is for clearing skies and a high of -8 C before the clouds roll back in bringing a 60 per cent chance of overnight flurries and a low of -10 C.

For Tuesday, expect clouds, a 60 per cent chance of flurries, a high of -6 C and a low of -17 C.

Wednesday’s forecast is for more clouds and a 60 per cent chance of snow for both day and night with a high of -9 C and low of -15 C.

The sun should peek out of mixed skies Thursday with a high of -6 C then an overnight low of -18 C with a 40 per cent chance of flurries.

It’s back to cloudy skies Friday with a 40 per cent chance of flurries, a high of -10 C and a low of -15 C.

Then it’s a mix of sun and cloud and warmer days for a Winterlude weekend with highs of -5 C Saturday and -3 C Sunday.
