Environment Canada has issued an “extreme cold warning” and Ottawa Public Health has a frostbite warning in effect until further notice.
“A period of very cold wind chills is expected,” the weather agency warned, surprising no one with a face.
“Wind chills will moderate during daytime hours today. However, wind chill values between minus 30 and 35 are expected again tonight.
“Extreme cold puts everyone at risk.”

Cold-related symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, muscle pain and weakness and numb and discoloured fingers and toes.
The now-familiar tips include:
- Dress warmly in layers that you can remove if you get too warm. The top layer should stop wind.
- Cover exposed skin – frostbite can develop within minutes.
- Pack emergency supplies in the car such as extra blankets and jumper cables.
- Keep pets indoors.
- Working outside? Take regular breaks to warm up.
In case you’ve forgotten, so-called “normals” for this time of year are highs of -5 C and lows of -14 C.
