We're going to have a high of -22C tomorrow, with no real end in sight. It's been as cold as -51 in Regina this week. This Arctic Express is also wraeking havoc on the normally warm west coast as well.
Brutally cold on the Canadian Prairies

Sorry, but the extreme cold will be locked up mostly in the northern tier of the CONUS and get pushed more eastward than southeastward. We will get a cold front down here along the Gulf, but the bitter cold won't dive down with it. Looks to me that the bitter cold will scoot across the northern half of the plains and then eastward toward the upper Ohio Valley and then the NE US north of Philly by next weekend.

Well the real extreme cold yes... but there will be a winter to winter for those in the East based on the latest ECMWF and GFS runs/ensembles...
FYI... Day 7-8 GFS/EC possibly latching onto coastal low...

Most globals have been consistent on bringing a very powerful arctic front down to the Gulf and off the East Coast. For instance, let's look at last night's GFS numbers for next Saturday morning...the 12Z will update soon and it is much the same...
I'd hardly say that's warm in the East or South. The low-level flow has been across the Pole from Siberia for quite some time, and the cold in Canada is just waiting for the trough to shift east. When it does, it shall follow. By the way, this run, in addition to this morning's, has a 1055 mb high centered over the Mid-Mississippi Valley at this time. Once that high shifts to the E, even colder weather would make it's way towards the Gulf and East Coasts.

This should be our coldest air of the season in the N. Plains. Highs around -10 lows around -25 below and around 40 below By the border by no means is this going to be record cold though. This is usually typical during Jan. 
. I can't wait to do a 4:30 am newspaper route in 25 below zero temps ummm 
. My lowest so far is only -12 below with wind chills around -25 below
Hopefully we get a good snow too on wednesday. Models show interesting setup as of now. Local mets say it resembles the pattern the 1990 Halloween blizzard where we got 23 inches don't remember that though I was only 1!

You were only ONE in 1990?
Sure makes a person feel old when someone says they can't remember a storm in 1990 because they were only 1.
I can't remember some storms in 1990 because....well....because I've got 30+ years more data stored in my memory than you do.
