Meanwhile, Southern Ontario is dealing with its own extreme cold issues, as well as some regions having to deal with both winter storm warnings and snow squalls.

Extreme cold warnings are issued when very cold temperatures or wind chill creates an elevated risk to health such as frost bite and hypothermia.Ā Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill values this low. Pets should also stay inside.
Think warm thoughts, Ontario.
