It’s no secret that Canadian winters can be brutal – but you’re about to find out just how harsh it can get. There are extreme cold weather warnings all across Canada right now, proving that Canadian winters are seriously brutal.
Given the weather over the past couple of weeks, it’s not exactly impossible to believe, but it’s still pretty shocking.
Earlier today, Environment Canada issued several winter storm and snowfall warnings for next week in most parts of Canada.
According to The Weather Network, Canada is going to be even colder than Antarctica and the North Pole next week as temperatures will drop to -70C with windchill values.
Over this next month, Canada will experience one of the most extreme temperature anomalies on the planet, TWN reports.
“Arctic air is forecast to barrel down from the North Pole and will settle east of the Rocky Mountains,” reports The Weather Network.
It is not just the temperatures that will be cooling things down, though. Powerful winds and up to 80 cm of snow are part of Environment Canada’s weather warnings for next week .

Environment Canada has issued extreme cold weather warnings for a total of eight provinces today: Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nunavut, Northwest Territories, and New Brunswick. This means that more than half of the Canadian provinces are expected to experience extreme cold temperatures.
