The rest of the week won’t be much better, with 2 cm of snow expected on Wednesday, and a high of -14°C for the next two days.

Things will likely clear up in time for the weekend, with “warmer” temperatures and a weekend high of -5°C.

Although it’s hard to remember a time where temperatures were ever above 0°C, the silver lining is that we will be getting a visit from Mr. Sun this weekend.

It’s the little victories.
