Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) have ended the extreme cold warning that was issued for Strathmore on Sunday (Feb. 9).

The warning began as wind chill values reached between -40°C and -45°C overnight, which led to frostbite developing in minutes on exposed skin.

Just before noon on Monday, the warning was ended as the wind chill became more moderate.

However, temperatures are expected to reach around -38°C with the windchill on Monday night, leading to another risk of frostbite.
