Environment Canada expects this will be one of the coldest New Year’s eves in decades for many regions in the country shivering under extreme cold warnings.
And the cold snap gripping much of Canada and the northern and mid-U-S is expected to last for at least a few more days.
The wind chill will drop to minus 26 on the Island overnight and the cold will last until Thursday when it warms up to plus 1 with some snow.
But then back in the deep freeze for the weekend through next Tuesday.
