A look at today’s Edmonton weather by Environment Canada.

Currently, it’s -9 C at the Edmonton Blatchford station with 13 km/h winds coming out of the northwest making it feel like -15.

For the next couple of days, it’s going to be a mix of sun and cloud and a chance of snow.

So if you were thinking that you could hang up that shovel you’re going to have to wait a little bit.

Staying warm is a little easier with a high today of -5 C but the wind is still expected to be gusting to 50 km/h at times this morning.

I turned on my space heater when I woke up and it now makes a screaming noise, so I guess it’s back to just using a blanket to stay warm.
