Ha, and also my area is under a "Special Weather Statement" i.e. be prepared for active weather.
"A general snowfall of 8 to 12 cm appears likely at this time. Although localized slightly higher amounts are possible, snowfall warnings are not expected (where at least 15 cm would have to fall within 12 hours)."

@sumi is -8 considered cold or is because of a snow/ice warning? What are your low winter temperatures?
That is very cold for us. According to Wikipedia our averages are: "January and February are the coldest months of the year, and mean daily air temperatures fall between 4 and 7 °C (39.2 and 44.6 °F) during these months. July and August are the warmest, with mean daily temperatures of 14 to 16 °C (57.2 to 60.8 °F), whilst mean daily maximums in July and August vary from 17 to 18 °C (62.6 to 64.4 °F) near the coast, to 19 to 20 °C (66.2 to 68.0 °F) inland."

(Fahrenheit temperatures in brackets)
