Historically speaking, we have made it through the bottom of winter for 2020-21, writes Chris Nelson of Edmonton Weather Nerdery.

Based on the past 30 years, Edmonton's average daily highs start to climb after Jan. 9, and our average daily lows get higher after Jan. 10.

That's not to say that we're through with cold weather. It's just that the average daily temperatures are on their way up. As Nelson notes, "there is still plenty of time left for this winter to make its presence felt."

Indeed, the forecast for this week indicates chillier days ahead.
