SAB, are you really in Antarctica?

Even still, your temps should be better than ours since it's the southern hemisphere summer.
Highs around -3 C to -5 C, lows down to -10 to -13 C in Toronto.

We have a daytime high in next week's forecast at -15 C.

Well, did you at least have any days in the 80s and/or 90s?

Surely you had at least one high of 90 or higher.
