CityNews Meteorologist Michael Kuss predicted earlier in the week that the chilly weather was on its way, and he says it could continue.
“More of a winter-type pattern is setting up, not unlike what we had a few weeks ago where we saw some snow across the area and some snow at the higher elevations. The potential is there for snow all the way down to sea level in the middle of next week and daytime highs not punching much above the freezing level starting on Tuesday and it looks like lasting, at least, through next weekend,” Kuss explained.
