Calgary is quite bizarre weather wise , it can be warmer with a Chinook in January than some days in June or August lol but the Chinook winds are strong most of the time .

[SignalHillHiker]

Cold and poles.

[TownGuy]

Grey, mild and melty.

[Nicko999]

I wish it was melty here...

-8C with a wind chill of -14 and overcast. Some light snow. It warmed up this evening and it's now up -1C.

Low of -12C (wind chill of -21) this morning.

The warmspot was Claresholm, AB at 19.4C. Insanity. 2 days worthy of all-time monthly high in a span of 3 days.

Warmest low was Race Rocks, BC at 6.9C.

Lots of people (and dogs) out and about soaking up the sun.

Saturday's high at Vancouver Harbour was 7 C, the low was 3 C.

Calgary's manic weather on display. Jan 9th it's a winter wonderland, a few sunny days of temps in the + teens and the snow is gone.

^ Awesome sunset.

Weather here today was mostly sunny but there is a big squall hanging out over the lake which has since blocked the sun. Temp is -3.

Said squall

The weather really is unpredictable there. My first time ever in Calgary there was a cold streak that was some sort of record cold temps, it was probably the coldest I've ever felt. 3 years later at the same time of year (January) I had to go there again, and packed as much winter stuff as I could but Calgary was in a warm streak. People were out in t-shirts on patios and there was no snow in sight

There's been a lot of fog just offshore and in the river valley the last few days. From Stanley Park this morning.

Great Calgary shots!

Today and the last few days in and around Vancouver the temperatures have been ranging between 7 degrees near the water (such as Vancouver Harbour) and 12 / 13 degrees inland (such as Pitt Meadows, West Vancouver Upper Levels, and Abbotsford.

Of course YVR is the worst spot, being fog and 5.

Yes, clear skies in Vancouver, there was just some fog visible here around sunset. The temp was around 10°C here today.

-2C with a wind chill of -8 and sunny. Decent day.

It went up to 0C (wind chill of -6) overnight.

The warmspot was Kindakun Rocks, BC at 14.1C. This has really been BC's winter.

Warmest low was Kindakun Rocks, BC at 8.4C.

Interesting weather in Vancouver this weekend (as has already been noted). Clear & sunny inland and in the mountains, but foggy near the water and along the Fraser.

Went from this yesterday:


To thick fog on the way home:



Today was similar:


But then a thick fog rolled in after sunset:

[mcminsen]

Sunny and foggy.

Sunday's high at Vancouver Harbour was 6 C, the low was 3 C.

Now, that can happen to many places in Canada in January, as just shown in Ontario and Alberta, and Ontario may have the more southern sun, but something that can only happen on coastal BC in Canada is a sunny 10 degree day in January with no ice to melt, no frozen ground, no dirty snowbanks, lush green lawns, palm trees by the sea, and green gardens.

Everywhere has its positives.

While rare, you can definitely have the first 4 of the bolded if it's been a mild start to winter in Southern Ontario. But definitely no palm trees or green gardens.

7 day forecast is quite cold in Toronto; we could get extremely cold lows by the weekend/early next week. TWN is forecasting lows of -22 both Friday & Saturday night. Dipping below -20 is exceedingly rare in Toronto, even during cold spells, so we will see.

Even more insane is that they have us staying below -10 between January 23rd and February 1st. The closest equivalent I could find in terms of a cold snap was December 2017 - January 2018. Between Dec 26 and January 6th, the highest temp was -6.3.

Today, -8, high of minus 6 and flurries throughout the day.

-3C and partly cloudy in Moncton at 12 PM. I scraped off the driveway this morning and it was actually quite pleasant out.

We received about 2 cm of snow overnight. Meanwhile, they had a nor'easter in NS. Up to 25 cm of snow in places with high winds. About 160,000 customers in NS lost power overnight. We dodged the bullet yet again in Moncton.
