Regina was above the threshold for an extreme cold warning, but conditions were still chilly with a temperature of  -27 C with wind chill of -32 C.

Both Saskatoon and Regina were expected to warm up to highs around -10 C for Wednesday and Thursday, with temperatures coming back down by the weekend.
