Extreme cold expected to continue for eastern Sask.

Dec 29, 2014 | 5:48 AM

Bitter cold stuck around eastern Saskatchewan Monday morning as an extreme-cold warning remained in effect.

The warning was first issued on Sunday over a large section of eastern Saskatchewan from the Hudson Bay area all the way south to the Estevan area. Environment Canada warned that wind chill values of -40 C to -45 C were possible, and expected throughout the day, due to a cold Artctic air mass.

Weather Specialist John Wilson explained that the province won’t be seeing relief from that mass anytime soon.

“It’s going to drift across Saskatchewan for the next several days and give us this rather bitter double-digit air,” Wilson said.

The mercury dropped to -30 C in Nipawin around 6:30 a.m. on Monday with a wind chill of -40 C.  In Prince Albert it was -30 C and with the wind chill it’s – 36 C.
