Wind chill values were expected to reach – 40.
Environment Canada said frostbite and hypothermia can happen in minutes in this type of extreme weather, so it’s important to stay covered up when outside.
The same goes for pets.
“If it’s too cold for you to stay outside, it’s too cold for your pet to stay outside,” Environment Canada said in a statement.
