Original story:
Extremely cold wind chill values between minus 40 and minus 45 were expected to continue this morning.
Wind chill values moderated by Monday afternoon, although extreme cold wind chills will return tonight for some areas.
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.
Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill. If it’s too cold for you to stay outside, it’s too cold for your pet to stay outside.
