Extreme Cold Warning

Extremely cold wind chill values near minus 40 will continue.

 

The wind chill may moderate during the day but extreme cold will continue through the week.

 

Extreme cold puts everyone at risk.

 

Risks are greater for young children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, people working or exercising outdoors, and those without proper shelter.

 

Watch for cold related symptoms: shortness of breath, chest pain, muscle pain and weakness, numbness and colour change in fingers and toes.

 

Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill.
