An Extreme Cold Warning has been issued in the wake of back-to-back storm systems that dropped 23 centimetres of snow between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning.
Environment Canada says windchill values overnight Sunday into Monday morning could reach -40. The agency adds that the extreme cold could return Monday evening after a brief reprieve Monday afternoon.
Extreme cold puts everyone at risk.
Dress warmly. Dress in layers that you can remove if you get too warm. The outer layer should be wind resistant.
Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with windchill.
If it's too cold for you to stay outside, it's too cold for your pet to stay outside.
