As we move into the new year, it looks like the cold temperatures are going to be coming with us.According to Brett Anderson, senior meteorologist with AccuWeather, 80 per cent of Canada will experience temperatures significantly below normal over the next one to two weeks.“On average, we’re probably looking at temperature anywhere from 6 C to 12 C below normal, which is pretty significant for the next ten days or so, on average,” Anderson said.This widespread cold air mass concentrated across the eastern two thirds of North America, going all the way down to Texas and Florida, is the coldest relative to normal in the northern hemisphere, with Europe seeing near to above normal temperatures this winter.“The coldest air relative to normal is going to be centered right across much of North America over the next one to two weeks,” Anderson said. “This large area of cold air is pretty rare, you don’t see them too often.”
