Feels like -21°C
Bundle up out there - it's -13 but that wind chill has it feeling more like -19 this morning. We'll see a slight improvement today with temperatures climbing to -10 under overcast skies, then dropping back to -17 overnight. Tomorrow looks a bit more promising with highs reaching -5, though we'll start cold again at -18.
Looking ahead at our week here in Petawawa, we're in for quite the temperature rollercoaster as we shake off this current cold snap. After a chilly start with Sunday's high of -10°C, we'll see a dramatic warming trend beginning Monday that takes us from -18°C overnight lows to above freezing by Tuesday and Wednesday. The real story this week will be the foggy, damp conditions moving in mid-week, with freezing drizzle becoming a concern Friday morning - definitely something to keep in mind for the morning commute and any outdoor training activities at the base. Saturday looks to be our mildest day at 6°C, though fog may linger in the valley. If you're planning outdoor activities, Monday and Tuesday offer your best windows before the wet weather settles in. Those temperature swings from -18°C to +6°C mean you'll want to keep both your winter gear and lighter layers handy throughout the week.
