Tuesday night and Wednesday morning look to be even colder with wind chills of -45 or colder.
The chill is caused from a frigid Arctic air mass over the province giving us unseasonable cold temperatures. Environment Canada says there will also likely be periods of extreme wind chills the rest of the week.
These extreme cold warnings are issued when the cold or wind chill creates a higher risk of frost bite and hypothermia.
