Meanwhile, in Quebec City, Sherbrooke and Saguenay, the low is expected to be -15 C overnight and -25 C on Monday.

Monday night will be very cold in Montreal with - 20 C while Svalbard will feel 2 C. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ElNino?src=hash">#ElNino</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PolarVortex?src=hash">#PolarVortex</a> <a href="https://t.co/SAhUWxCW7k">pic.twitter.com/SAhUWxCW7k</a>
