Currently it is -2 C at the Edmonton Blatchford weather station with winds of 2 km/h from the south, southwest and a wind chill of -3 C.

What can I say on such an average day? The temperatures are not going to be good but it’s not going to be bad either. This will be exactly what is expected during the last days of October.

Winds are expected to strengthen tonight, with gusts of 20 km/h to 40 this evening. Temperatures will hover just around freezing point overnight.

Tomorrow we see an improvement. The day’s high is expected to reach 15°C. I’m happy to welcome the warmer temperatures. It would be nice if they stick around for Halloween for all the ghosts and ghouls that will be hitting the neighborhoods in search of tasty treats.

It’s too early to tell if we’ll have to modify the costumes to accommodate winter coats and allow for a toque and mittens to stay warm. I guess that’s the Canadian way, after all.
