Canadians have been sitting pretty in this warmer-than-usual winter while also dreading the looming polar vortex.

TWN also mentioned that highs in the Prairies might not even make it over the -20 Cs.

"Some cold ultimately breaks off the main lobe and squeezes east across Ontario towards Atlantic Canada, then confidence decreases," the forecast continues. 

Apparently, this weather system can be expected around January 25. 

While it's going to get chilly, it may not last. 

"Some signs point to warmer temperature anomalies cropping up once again in parts of Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada – as we turn the page on a new month," said the Network. 

While parts of Russia are seriously going through it right now, the Weather Network says that the warm winter Canada has been having is even more extreme of a weather event. 

Well, it's not exactly tropical over here, but we'll take it.
