March may not be roaring in like a lion in Toronto, but it’s certainly not sheepishly arriving like a lamb.

With the wind chill, Environment Canada is forecasting temperatures as low as -24 early Monday morning.

Other areas of southern Ontario were experiencing even colder temperatures, with lows into the -20s, and windchills reaching -30.
Further north, areas like Thunder Bay were seeing bone-chilling temperatures into the -30s, and a wind chill of nearly -40.
Snow is not likely in Toronto, and the extreme cold will likely be short lived, with above zero temperatures returning to many parts of the province by Tuesday.
