Those who took advantage of the sunshine over the weekend to get the festive feel up around the house, will be celebrating their forward thinking this week.
Snow squalls, strong winds, and winter-like weather is on the way.
The start of the week is relatively calm, with some rain and mild weather on Monday and Tuesday.
In fact on Tuesday, 570 NewsRadio Weather Specialist Denise Andreacchi is calling for temperatures to hover around 8C in Waterloo Region.
But don’t let that trick you, says Denise.
Starting Wednesday and into Thursday, you’ll need to get the shovel and snow brush back out.
“We are going to see a big weather pattern shift through southern Ontario and that begins Wednesday night as temperatures start to drop, we see a chance of flurries, and then the winds are relentless into Thursday.”

Although the highs on Thursday and Friday will stay around the freezing mark, Denise expects it to feel much colder with the wind.
“We are going to see snow squall activity and we’re expecting periods of snow and blowing snow here in Kitchener, with winds gusting near 60 km/hr.”
Winter officially begins on Sunday, December 21.
