Daytime brief: Coast to coast cold, freezing rain and snow mark Tuesday

Tuesday, January 6, 2015, 12:34 PM - Frigid temperatures and wind chills continue to dominate in the East and across the Prairies.

Meanwhile, B.C. still has some snow to fall, as Ontario braces for seasonally low temperatures and more flurries.

Here's a look at what Tuesday has in store for your region:

Atlantic Canada

Another cold blast of winter air is headed east, bringing frigid wind chill values and snow.

• Maritimes: Chance of sea-effect snow for areas east of the Gulf, and the Bay of Fundy. Incoming system will bring snow to the Maritimes beginning Tuesday night. Heaviest amounts 5-10 cm for Nova Scotia. Extreme cold warnings for New Brunswick, below seasonal everywhere.
• Newfoundland: Sea-effect snow affects the island Tuesday. Incoming system affects the Avalon Wednesday. Bitterly cold, with winds gusting up to 100 km/h possible throughout the morning along the coasts.

Quebec

• Extreme cold warnings and blowing snow advisories remain in effect in central and southern Quebec. Temperatures feeling as low as -45 with extreme wind chill values Tuesday morning. Montreal not presently in a warning.
• Hydro-Quebec confirmed that power stations were back up and running after freezing rain gripped the province on Sunday.

Ontario

Lake effect flurries linger as the coldest air of the season heads for the GTA.

• Northern Ontario: Very heavy snow squalls in the Sault Ste. Marie area and north. Snowfall amounts between 15-30 cm. Wind chills making it feel like -30s.
• Southern Ontario: Weaker snow squalls possible this afternoon. Western GTA down to Hamilton and St. Catharines to see flurries. Lake Effect squalls on Georgian Bay and Bruce Peninsula. Heavy band likely to set up over Grand Bend to London Wednesday morning, with fairly persistent snow throughout the day. Temps feel like mid-minus-teens Tuesday, even colder for Wednesday.

Prairies

After a brutally chilly Monday, bitter cold maintains its hold on the Prairies

• Manitoba and Saskatchewan: Sunny but cold conditions continue with frigid temperatures and wind chills. Temperatures will feel close to -40s in the morning, -30s in the afternoon. 
• Alberta: Foothills seeing some snow Tuesday. Edmonton likely to get just a trace, up to 10 cm in Calgary, where a snowfall warning is in effect. Cold temperatures continue. New low brings freezing rain risk from Grand Prairie to Edmonton, but upsloping winds bring a noteable warm-up to Calgary, before plunging back to below seasonal on Thursday.

British Columbia

• Lower mainland: Showers linger for the south coast, followed by fog. Temps remain above seasonal this week.
• Interior: Snowfall and winter storm warnings continue Tuesday. After heavy snow closed schools and cancelled flights in the Okanagan Valley on Monday, freezing drizzle/rain and dense fog could pose more travel problems as warmer air slides through the valleys.
