Dont know where in central Canada you live, but 2 weeks ago we were the coldest temperature on the planet, I live in Central Canada, and it has been -30 degrees C or colder with windchill for many weeks now, many times reaching mid negative 40's, even reaching -55 degrees celcius with windchill. And I am not living in the god damn Yukon. For all the people from the U.S. -40 degrees celcius, is equal to -40 degrees fahrenheit,that is where the temperatures meet. Basically at this temperature when you walk outside your testicles freeze to the side of your leg if you didnt dry off in the shower properly in the morning. 
You are right though next week is supposed to be +2 here which is odd, but there is no way you could consider this anything less than a "freeze your balls off cold" winter thus far, and until i hear a meterologist admit it i will not be happy.

Here in central Canada we're looking to be about 15 C above normal next week.
