Pedestrians bundle up during the late afternoon commute on Portage Avenue, Thursday, February 9, 2012. Parkas will be the fashion statement of the day again, as the temperature will only get up to -19°C. By the time you factor in the not-so-comfy wind chill of -39°C this morning, the incentive to face the cold blast of air heading into the office or to school won't be so enticing. If you didn't plug your car in overnight and now it won't start because it felt like -34°C with a north wind, the good news is the weekend is almost here. Saturday is looking sunny with a high of -10°C -- not bad weather for Hockey Day in Canada at The Forks. (STAN MILOSEVIC / MANITOBAPHOTOS.COM)
