A Glimmer of Hope next week

Edmonton’s deep freeze continues as clouds, flurries, and biting wind chill make it feel even colder than the thermometer reads. While sunshine will make a brief appearance, it’s unlikely to provide much warmth, and the risk of frostbite is high for those venturing outdoors. The next few days will see more sunshine, but don’t expect any relief from the icy grip until the end of the week. The good news? Temperatures finally start to climb on Thursday, offering a hint of spring… or at least a temporary thaw.
