THE BATTLEFORDS — Environment Canada has issued an extreme cold warning for the Battlefords - Unity - Maidstone - St. Walburg area and for the Kindersley - Rosetown - Biggar - Wilkie – Macklin area.
Temperatures will drop to -30 degrees overnight which will produce wind chill values near -40 by Thursday morning.
Conditions will improve late Thursday morning.
Extreme cold puts everyone at risk. Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill. If it's too cold for you to stay outside, it's too cold for your pet to stay outside.
Extreme cold warnings are issued when very cold temperatures or wind chill creates an elevated risk to health such as frostbite and hypothermia.
