Cold weather to 'plague' southern Ontario for rest of week

Windsor came close to breaking a 55-year-old record-low temperature Tuesday.

The temperature dipped to an unseasonably -11 C, just missing the record low of -11.7 C set in 1959.

The normal high for Windsor at this time is 7 C and the normal low is 0 C.

High pressure over Canadas West and the Yukon has forced cold air over much of the continent, said Peter Kimbell, a warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada.

It isnt going away for a few days, Kimbell said.

Kimbell said the forecast shows cold air plaguing Ontario for the next four days.

However, he said temperatures will be closer to normal on the weekend.

Windsor surpassed its normal monthly snowfall total on Monday, alone.
