As we mentioned in yesterday’s 5 Things You Need to Know, the Chevy Corvette debuted 70 years ago this week.

To mark the 70th anniversary, Chevrolet has debuted the first-ever fully electric model; the 2024 E-Ray.

The E-Ray will be available in removeable roof coupe and hardtop convertible models and is equipped as an electric all wheel drive. The E-Ray is the quickest production Corvette in history, hitting 60mph/100 km/h in 2.5-seconds.

The 2024 Corvette E-Ray goes on sale this year. The coupe version starts at $128,798 in Canada.

The polar vortex has brought the coldest temperature on Earth so far this year to Siberia, and now meteorologists say it could be headed to Canada next.

A weather station in Tongulakh, Siberia recorded a temperature of -62.4 C on January 14th as a pocket of frigid arctic air hovered over northern Russia. It’s the coldest temperature Russia has recorded in two decades. That temperature is only 0.3 C from the average temperature on Mars! It’s cold enough to freeze exposed skin in seconds.

Meteorologist say Canada could be next in early February. It should settle over western Canada, all of the Prairies, the Northwest Territories, the Yukon, and right through to Northwestern Ontario, replacing the warm air that’s settled over the country in recent weeks.
