The City is advising residents to limit outdoor time as much as possible, adding people experiencing homelessness, children, elderly people, and those with pre-existing health conditions are most at risk of cold-related illnesses.A warming centre is expected to open at Metro Hall by 7 p.m. Thursday and additional street outreach is expected during the alert.A possible snowstorm is also in the forecast for Saturday, though the temperature is expected to rise by then.

“With that arctic air in place, a Texas Low with a fair amount of moisture will move in Saturday morning,” Hull said. “Computer models are not showing as much snow with this as earlier in the week, but it still looks like there is the potential for 7 to 12 cm of snow in the GTA beginning Saturday morning and lasting into the afternoon … with a changeover to rain likely by late afternoon and evening.”© 2020 Global News, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc.

How cold is cold in Canada? Toronto alert for -12 C revives never-ending debateAn extreme cold weather alert issued in Toronto for -12 C weather prompted some Twitter users to roll their eyes. But, as Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips explains, Canadians have dramatically different relationships with cold weather. ..but that's just people in Public Health declaring that, the weather office threshold is -30C to issue extreme cold warnings in Toronto area. This article is kinda pointless, it's not an 'official' warning but you're comparing that threshold to official warnings elsewhere hahha All would perish if Toronto had a week of Saskatchewan weather. I live in Calgary, -12 is balmy!😐🏖
