Bundle up, Toronto! It’s about to get cooler than ice cold. Over the weekend the city will see temperatures dip more than 20°C below freezing.

In the most dramatic winter display, according to The Weather Network, Toronto’s forecast is calling for negatives in the double digits all weekend and prolonged icy conditions.

Friday will begin the weekend with a daytime high of -11°C that will fall into an -18°C evening with an overnight feels like temperature of -23°C. If that isn’t enough to scare you inside, The Weather Network is reporting that cold and icy conditions will continue into next week.

“After a brief warm-up Wednesday, a sharp cold front that pushed through southern Ontario in the late afternoon sent temperatures plummeting back below freezing in a hurry,” says the network. “The combination of accumulating snow — or left over snow piles from Monday’s blizzard — freezing drizzle, and falling temperatures has made for some hazardous conditions, particularly for untreated surfaces.”
