Look, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, it’s going to be a very sunny, very snowless weekend.

That doesn’t mean it’s going to be warm, though — the forecast today calls for a high of -3 C with those well-worn 15 km/h winds going well into the evening where we’ll have a low of -8 C. On Saturday we’ll have more sun (if you can believe it), with winds climbing to 20 km/h and a high of -2 C and a wind chill of -13.  As for next week? Well, just look at the long-term forecast below, ye parka-wearing masses, and weep, because it’s going to be bright, sunny, and dry.
