Residents are reminded to watch for cold related symptoms: shortness of breath, chest pain, muscle pain and weakness, numbness and colour change in fingers and toes.

You’re encouraged to dress warmly and dress in layers that you can remove if you get too warm. The outer layer should be wind resistant.

Also, residents are reminded that if it’s too cold for you to stay outside, it’s too cold for your pet to stay outside.

Officials say Extreme Cold Warnings are issued when very cold temperatures or wind chill creates an elevated risk to health such as frost bite and hypothermia.
