The extreme cold snap continues across Alberta for another day with temperatures and wind chills Wednesday similar to those from Tuesday. The large -45 to -50°C wind chill region has decreased, however these temperatures will still persist for some areas into tomorrow. Thankfully, it appears that the cold will dissipate after Thursday so we’ll just have to stay bundled up for a little bit longer.
