Your Morning meteorologist Kelsey McEwen has an update on when extreme cold temperatures in Ontario are expected to ease.

Many regions around Canada are facing weather alerts for heavy snow, blizzards and extreme cold Wednesday.

Here’s what to know in your region:

Newfoundland and Labrador

While snow squall watches have been in effect since Wednesday morning, the province no longer has extreme cold warnings, as of 4 p.m. EST.

Environment Canada warns of snow squalls in the southern areas of Newfoundland that may last through Wednesday night. Blizzard-like conditions are expected with up to 20 centimetres of snow and maximum wind gusts of 70 km/h.

With potentially near-zero visibility and sudden weather changes, travel may be “hazardous,” Environment Canada wrote on its website.

New Brunswick

New Brunswick faced similar extreme cold warnings Wednesday morning, with wind chills plunging to between -35 to -40 in the northwestern part of the province. The warnings are no longer active as of this afternoon.

Quebec

Blizzard warnings are in effect for parts of Quebec. Snow and strong winds are forecast to cause near-zero visibilities in the northern village of Aupaluk, for instance. Conditions will gradually improve Thursday morning, Environment Canada said.

Blowing snow will also make visibility difficult in areas such as the northeastern village of Umiujaq.

Ontario

Many areas of Ontario face extreme cold and snow squall warnings. Parts of the Greater Toronto Area, including Toronto, Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Markham, were forecast to have “bitterly cold wind chills,” with values as low as -35 earlier Wednesday morning.

While the GTA warnings are no longer in effect this afternoon, some areas continue to face bitterly cold and hazardous weather. A snow squall warning was issued for the Sudbury area, with accumulations of up to 30 cm until Thursday morning making travel hazardous. Areas in Northern Ontario north of Lake Superior face extreme cold warnings, with wind chill values near -40, which are expected through Thursday morning.

Manitoba

Environment Canada issued an extreme cold warning for parts of Manitoba Wednesday morning, but it is no longer in effect.

Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan has active snowfall warnings as of Wednesday afternoon, with up to 20 cm projected for southwestern areas. The heavy snow is expected to stop Wednesday night.

Alberta

A snowfall warning has been in effect for parts of southern Alberta since Wednesday morning, with a total of 10 to 20 cm expected before the heavy snow tapers off Wednesday night, according to Environment Canada. Travellers are warned of gusting winds causing blowing snow that may worsen visibility in some areas.

“Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions,” Environment Canada wrote on its website. “Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions.”

British Columbia

Parts of B.C. also have warnings for significant snowfall and a winter storm. The McGregor central region has a snowfall warning, with nearly 10 cm expected for Wednesday night, going late into Thursday morning. Meanwhile, a winter storm is forecast to last through Wednesday night for the inland areas of the north coast. Environment Canada estimates between 25 to 35 cm of snow is projected for some places by Wednesday evening. It warned of possible problems with snow accumulating on highways, roads, walkways and parking lots.

Nunavut

Blizzard warnings were issued for three of Nunavut’s Inuit communities -- Clyde River, Naujaat and Sanirajak -- earlier this morning. The blizzard warning for Clyde River remains in effect while Naujaat and Sanirajak no longer have it. Clyde River is projected to have nearly zero visibility, with “extremely hazardous” travel conditions forecast until Thursday night. Winter storm watches have been issued for Arviat and Rankin Region. For Arviat and Rankin Region, the blizzard is forecast to last from Friday morning through Saturday morning, with winds gusting up to 70 km/h.
