And that’s not to say that Jack Frost is done with us quite yet, as more snow is expected next week, though there will be a few days before that without any flurry-filled skies.

Temperatures this past week have plunged to an icy -16°C (though it felt like -24°C), and with nothing but negative temperatures from here on out, not even the hardiest of rain dances will be able to liquify the snows as they fall.
