Tonight, Low minus 32. Wind chill minus 33 in the evening and minus 44 overnight. That's close to the record -33.3 set in 1946.
This bitterly cold Arctic airmass will remain in place through the weekend.
Risks are greater for young children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, people working or exercising outdoors, and those without proper shelter.
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 a wind chill.
If it’s too cold for you to stay outside, it’s too cold for your pet to stay outside.
