A prolonged period of very cold wind chills is expected. An arctic air mass has settled into northern Alberta, clear skies will allow temperatures to fall tonight giving a period of extreme wind chills near -40 C. Temperatures are expected to moderate by the weekend.

Environment Canada says extreme cold puts everyone at risk, and advises keeping emergency supplies in your vehicle such as extra blankets and jumper cables. They also remind everyone that 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 frost bite and hypothermia.
