Prepare for a few shots of snow across southern Ontario over the next few days, as a low pressure system lingers over the region.

Coldest temperatures of the season move in Thursday

Wednesday, February 10, 2016, 7:58 PM - It hasn't exactly been a crippling winter blast, but the snow that fell in southern Ontario this week -- with more still to come -- has been a reminder that, balmy January notwithstanding, winter is still around.

The GTA and southwest picked up a few centimetres Monday and Tuesday courtesy of a stalled low pressure system over the region, with temperatures declining and then plunging to terribly cold levels into the long weekend

The coldest air of the season so far dips down from the north beginning Thursday and peaking by Saturday. 

Morning lows will be in the -10oC to -15oC range for the GTA and southwest, and Thursday afternoon will get no warmer than -9oC for Toronto, feeling close to -20 with the wind chill. The weekend is even colder, with daytime highs only reaching the mines teens, feeling like -20 to -30 with the wind chill.

For cottage country and southeastern Ontario, overnight lows reach down into the -20oC to -30oC range by the weekend, climbing no higher than the mid-minus-teens, feeling as cold as -35 in some areas with the wind chill.
