    It will feel more like winter for some parts of Eastern Canada over the next few days, with snow in the forecast in parts of Ontario and Quebec.

    Temperatures are chilly in Ontario and Quebec, with single-digit highs Tuesday and Wednesday, said Kelsey McEwen, chief meteorologist for CTV's Your Morning.

    Snow is forecast Tuesday during the day in areas like Timmins, Ont., and later Tuesday night for areas much farther south, McEwen said.

    Winter weather advisories are in place for Quebec, she added. North of Quebec City, five to 10 centimetres of snow is expected by Wednesday morning, she said.

    At the same time, there are warmer places further east. will be steady Tuesday near 11 C in Charlottetown, P.E.I., with double-digit highs for the rest of the week, according to Environment Canada. Halifax will also have double-digit temperatures this week. Ingonish Beach in Cape Breton, N.S., is even hotter, at 17.7 C past 9 a.m. ET Tuesday.

    Western Canada won't have such a rude awakening to the cold. It's expected to be mild in the region, McEwen said.

    Calgary will have double-digit highs this week, except Thursday when temperatures will dip to 8 C.

    Medicine Hat will be 13 C above average, McEwen said. On Wednesday, it will be 28 C in Regina and 18 C in Winnipeg (8 C above average).

    But it's not as pleasant further north, with Margaret Lake, Yukon at -14.7 C before 9 a.m. ET Tuesday.

    Ontario and Quebec will feel a bit of relief later in the week. It will feel slightly warmer Thursday and mostly on Friday, McEwen said. In Toronto, highs will mostly be 18 C from Friday through the weekend, according to Environment Canada.

    U.S. freeze warnings

    It's a bleaker situation south of the border. Freeze or frost warnings have been issued for more than 60 million people in the central and eastern United States, with the coldest since spring on the way for many areas Wednesday, CNN reported Tuesday. A surge of chilly Canadian air and a vast cold front are bringing chilly fall weather to many areas. It's a drastic shift for most of the country, according to the U.S. news outlet. Temperatures could plunge to 10 to 15 F below average by midweek.
