Ontario and Quebec are back in the depths of polar vortex-generated, bone-chilling cold today, with temperatures set to peak in the –20 C range in Ottawa and Toronto.
Temperatures on Tuesday morning ranged from the high minus teens to high –30s across both provinces. Aside from some snow in the afternoon in northwestern Ontario and snow squalls in southern Lake Huron, Ontario is mostly clear under Arctic high pressure.
Temperatures will remain cold until the weekend, with Toronto and Ottawa topping out at –17 C and –20 C Tuesday afternoon and feeling around (or below) the –30 mark in the morning with wind chill, CBC meteorologist Jay Scotland reported.
Wind-chill warnings are in effect from Kenora, Ont., all the way east to Saguenay, Que., and south to the Niagara Region, Scotland said.
There is harsher weather ahead for Atlantic Canada, however, with a severe storm moving into the Maritimes on Tuesday night and Wednesday. Newfoundland will see stronger winds.
"Blizzard warnings are out for eastern New Brunswick, P.E.I. and much of Nova Scotia, and winter storm watches are out for Newfoundland — all in advance of this next winter storm," Scotland said. For Tuesday, the Maritimes will remain fairly clear, with temperatures rising to –14 C in Fredericton and –8 C in Halifax.
For St. John's and the Avalon Peninsula, the temperatures will continue to fall as the sky clears, dipping to –2°C by mid-to late afternoon, Scotland reported. Northern Newfoundland and the Labrador coast will be windy.
In the U.S., another batch of heavy snow and frigid temperatures was forecast from Virginia to New England as a winter storm bears down on the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

The National Weather Service said the storm could bring 25 cm of snow Tuesday to Philadelphia and New York and bitterly cold air with wind chills as low as –23 C.
It warned of heavy winds and hazardous driving conditions throughout the day as the storm moves up the East Coast.
The federal government said its offices in the Washington area would be closed Tuesday because of the storm. The weather service warns the storm could impact the morning commute in Washington and Baltimore.
Schools in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut and West Virginia were sending students home early on Tuesday or staying closed after the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday.
