Bitter cold will slam Canada with some lows plunging to -50 C

Bone-chilling cold warnings have swept across Canada, with some regions experiencing temperatures as low as -50 C due to a polar vortex. Environment Canada has issued orange weather alerts for Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and northern Ontario, warning of severe weather conditions likely to cause significant damage, disruption, or health impacts. Residents in these areas can expect wind-chill temperatures between -45 C and -50 C ahead of a slow warming trend this weekend.
