Dig out the ear-flap toques, mitts and extra-big coats — the cold is arriving.
Environment Canada has forecast a low of -20 C overnight on Sunday, with windchill making it feel like – 27 C. The high is expected to only to reach – 15 C on Monday.
As such, the City of Ottawa has issued a frostbite advisory for overnight until further notice, encouraging all residents to take extra care to safeguard against exposure to the cold.
FROSTBITE ADVISORY: Starting overnight Jan 3, 2016 until further notice. Protect yourself from the cold. https://t.co/LBHA5OafkR #ottnews

Recommendations include wrapping a big scarf around the chin, lips and cheeks, which are particularly susceptible to the cold, wearing big mittens over gloves, two pairs of socks (preferably wool) and keeping feet warm and dry. Of course, staying inside where it is warm is the best solution.
The Ottawa Paramedic Service recommends not drinking alcohol as this narrows blood vessels, which promotes frostbite and then hypothermia.
If you think you have frostbite, which is identified through pinkness, pain, then the skin turning waxy and white with a prickling sensation, do not rub or massage the area, said paramedics. The service recommends slowly warming up the area and seeking immediate medical attention.
