Five years after COVID, Sarah Mills still pondering life's mysteries
Sarah Mills looks back at the COVID pandemic and some of the questions she asked herself to stave off boredom. Mills say...
It’s uncharted territory in 2020— a winter cold snap on the prairies.
With the mild winter welcomed by many, it seems as though Saskatchewan is settling in to a brief, short shot of cold air for the next few days.
At least, those were the words of Environment Canada meteorologist Dave Carlsen Sunday.
“We’ve had cool air and a couple of chilly nights, but this is the real thing in terms of an arctic outbreak,” he said.
“The good news though, is that it’s not going to last that long.”
Carlsen said after a few cold nights and days Sunday through Tuesday, things look to improve by the mid-week.
“We’re going to be back towards normal temperatures in a couple of days,” he explained.
In the mean time, Carlsen warned of frostbite and hypothermia.
“You just want to make sure you layer up, cover up any exposed skin. Especially if there’s any wind at all. It can take a relatively, OK – 15 C down to a really, really cold – 30 C, – 40 C feeling with a little bit of wind,” he said.
Carlsen said we could see the mercury dip past – 30 C overnight Sunday.
A fairly-dramatic warm up is forecast for Wednesday, with highs of – 3 C in the forecast.
