It appears that residents of Toronto may have gotten a little too comfortable with the city's remarkably warm weather over the last few months, as the first frigid temperatures of the season are not going over well with people.

Even if the snow from this weekend's storm has all but melted away, the chill it brought has settled in, with temperatures feeling deep into the negative double digits in the downtown core after a sustained stretch of much more temperate conditions.

Bruh this cold weather is so disrespectful right now in Toronto how do ppl enjoy this

And even if we should be used to this kind of winter weather, people are not handling the sudden dip in mercury well.

As of around 9 a.m. Monday, Toronto is - 13 C (feeling more like a brutal - 21 C) and expected to warm up to only - 9 C — a figure it will hardly get above at all this week amid some bursts of snow and continued sub-zero temps that will feel far, far worse than they measure on a thermometer with the wind.

Whoaaa..that’s really cold! It’s -14 here in Toronto..-23 with the windchill & my knees r already knocking..what a cold day!! 😳

Of course, while the unseasonably warm, grey weather has been great cause for concern this far into the year (and thus, a source of complaints), this quite seasonable deep freeze is not being welcomed either, despite the fact that we were waiting on it for quite some time.

The city smashed multiple warm weather records in both autumn and winter, with the balmy atmosphere delaying fall colours as well as the city's usual winter activities.

But now that it's finally cold enough for rinks to stay frozen and ski hills to stay snowy, citizens are still having a problem.

What y'all temps my friends?

With the frosty air set to last all week, we can expect the public to be grumbling about it from under their scarves and hats for the next few days.

But, at least there's finally some sun, as difficult as it may be to enjoy right now.
