Good morning, Cochrane. 

Happy Wednesday to you! Here are a few things to get you going. 

Fun fact

Did you know that Vancouver is the birthplace of the ugly holiday sweater party?

Or at least that's what the Commodore Ballroom says. 

It's been throwing an annual ugly sweater party since 2002 that attracts hundreds. 

The co-founders of the Commodore, Chris Boyd and Jordan Birch have even trademarked the phrase "ugly Christmas sweater," according to some reports. 

 

Weather

Environment Canada is calling a high of -16 C and winds up to 15 km/h Wednesday, Dec. 15. 

Despite the -34 C windchill in the morning, the national agency says it will be mostly sunny tomorrow. 

In the afternoon, that windchill will make it feel more like -20 C. 

There is risk of frostbite, says Environment Canada.
