But Winterlude organizers (and fans) were crossing their fingers that a return to more seasonal weather this coming week could put more winter in the annual winter festivities.
The change starts with an overnight drop to -4 C on Sunday night.
Monday’s expected to be cloudy with a 30-per-cent chance of flurries and a high temperature of 0 C. The low should be around -11 C.
Tuesday’s high is expected to be -3 C under mixed skies, and Environment Canada is forecasting a bone-chilling low of -15 C.
Temperatures are expected to stay in those ranges until Friday.
Winterlude ends Family Day, Monday, Feb. 19.
