Frigid Morning in Dryden, Snow Arrives by Noon
Dryden and Vermilion Bay face a frigid morning with snow arriving by noon. More snow and gusty winds expected Thursday. Stay warm and watch for frostbite!
Dryden and Vermilion Bay are waking up to an icy morning, with the temperature sitting at -22.9°C as of 6:00 AM at the Dryden Airport.
A light south-southwest wind at 8 km/h is making it feel much colder, with the wind chill dropping to a numbing -30. Humidity is at 76%, and the barometric pressure is at 103.2 kPa, indicating a shift in weather conditions.
Visibility is fair at 16 km, but don’t let that fool you—this morning’s deep freeze comes with a risk of frostbite, so bundle up!
Today’s Forecast: Cloudy with Snow Arriving Midday
Expect increasing cloudiness through the morning, with periods of light snow beginning near noon. Winds will stay light at up to 15 km/h, but the cold remains intense. The daytime high will be -13°C, though wind chills will make it feel like -34°C in the morning and -16°C in the afternoon.
If you’re heading out early, cover up any exposed skin, as frostbite can develop in minutes. The UV index will be low at 1, so no sunscreen required—just warmth!
Tonight: Steady Snowfall, Cold Lingers
Snow will continue into the night, with accumulations of 5 to 10 cm expected. Winds will remain light at up to 15 km/h, and the temperature will hold steady around -14°C.
The wind chill will make it feel closer to -20°C, so it’ll be a snowy and cold evening. If you’re out late, expect slippery roads and reduced visibility.
Thursday: Gusty Winds and More Snow
Thursday will bring another round of snowfall, though lighter, with around 2 cm expected. However, winds will ramp up, shifting to the west at 30 km/h and gusting to 50 km/h.
This will create a sharp wind chill of -27°C throughout the day, making it feel much colder than the actual temperature, which will hover near -15°C.
Thursday Night: Flurries Possible, Deep Freeze Continues
Cloudy periods will persist into the night, with a 40% chance of flurries. The temperature will drop to -18°C, meaning another cold night ahead.
Friday and Beyond: Some Sunshine, Still Freezing
Friday will bring a mix of sun and cloud with a high of -13°C. The night will be clear, but temperatures will plunge to -23°C. At least it’ll be pretty—if you can brave the cold!
Wardrobe Recommendations
Layer up with a heavy winter coat, thermal base layers, a hat, gloves, and a scarf. If you’re heading out early, frostbite is a serious concern, so make sure to cover all exposed skin. Snow boots will be a must for tonight as snow accumulates. With gusty winds coming tomorrow, a windproof outer layer will keep the chill at bay.
