With the temperature sitting at -27 C (or -43 C with the windchill) as of 7 a.m., an extreme cold warning is in effect for Greater Sudbury and vicinity.
A period of very cold windchills is expected, said a notice issued by Environment Canada early Thursday morning.
Extreme windchill values near or below -40 C are expected early this morning in some locales, again tonight and Friday morning, and once again Friday night and Saturday morning.
Dress warmly. Dress in layers that you can remove if you get too warm. The outer layer should be wind resistant.
Keep dry to stay warmer.
Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with windchill.
Extreme cold warnings are issued when very cold temperatures or windchill creates an elevated risk to health such as frost bite and hypothermia.
