While the timing of the the next polar plunge is challenging, it is not expected to be as extreme as that of Jan. 5-8, 2014.

"Following the retreat of arctic air this weekend, waves of progressively colder will move southward over Canada next week," AccuWeather.com Lead Long-Range Forecaster Paul Pastelok said.
