The long, cold Russian Winter Rolls On

Edmonton’s weather menu isn’t changing much, with a steady diet of cold, clouds, and the occasional flurry. Brief peeks of sun might tease a warm-up, but don’t be fooled—the cold still has a firm grip. The weekend offers a slight break from the bitter cold, but more snow chances creep back in soon after. Bottom line: keep the winter gear handy, because this endless February chill isn’t letting up just yet.
