Arctic weather continues to grip Prince Albert
A blast of Arctic air has plunged Saskatchewan into a deep freeze that is expected to linger for several days, according to Environment Canada meteorologist John Paul Cragg.
He said the extremely cold temperatures are expected to linger until at least Jan. 2.
“We have a ridge of high pressure sitting in Alberta and it’s just pumping Arctic air into Saskatchewan and Manitoba. We’re seeing highs of -25 C for daytime highs and -35 C for overnight lows with wind chills below -40 C,” Cragg said.
An extreme cold warning, issued by Environment Canada, is in effect for nearly the entire province and country.
