If you don’t have your winter clothes ready to go, dig them out. Nasty temperatures are on the way.
A dreaded polar vortex is expected to unleash a deep chill on most parts of Canada this week, with heavy snow expected in some regions of Ontario.
What exactly is a polar vortex? We reached out to a leading expert for an accurate explanation: David Phillips, a.k.a. "Canada's weatherman."
A longtime senior climatologist at Environment and Climate Change Canada, Phillips recently retired — but he's still on call to help journalists answer all their weather-related questions.
The weather may change, but Phillips certainly hasn't. When he joined our Closer Look podcast earlier this week, Canada's most-quoted public servant was as kind and informative as ever.
