Weather: Skating season is open as 2018 draws to a close

Get out your snow pants and sharpen those skates.
The drop in temperatures has allowed the National Capital Commission to open a 2.7 km stretch of the Rideau Canal Skateway. We call that a good start.
Sunday should see a  mix of sun and cloud with a  high of -5 C. Environment Canada is predicting clouds near noon and a 60 per cent chance of flurries this afternoon.
Winds will be up to 15 km/h. The morning wind chill  of -22 will moderate to -8 in the afternoon, with a low UV index
