There will be no respite from frigid temperatures until the end of the week
for most of Western Canada as arctic wind chills blanket the area, sending
temperatures plummeting.



Environment Canada says most of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan,
along with parts of Manitoba and Ontario, are still under extreme cold
warnings with wind chills plunging to -50 C in some areas.



Environment Canada says the frigid arctic air mass enveloping southern parts
of Saskatchewan won’t let up until the end of the week.




The weather agency says most of Alberta will see extreme cold conditions with
wind chills ranging between -40 C and -45 C.



It says temperatures in Vancouver with wind chill will be near or below -20 C
as arctic winds blow across the region.



Environment Canada says the cold wind chill in Vancouver will moderate during
the day on Wednesday as temperatures increase.




BC Hydro said the extreme low temperatures in many parts of the province led
to a new record for peak electricity demand on Monday between 5 and 6 p.m.



“Most of the increase is likely due to additional home heating required during
this cold snap,” spokeswoman Simi Heer said in a news release.
