3:35 PM AST Friday 10 March 2017
Extreme Cold Warning in effect for:

Woodstock and Carleton County
A period of very cold wind chills is expected.

Cold arctic air moving into New Brunswick tonight combined with brisk northwest winds behind a winter storm passing southeast of the Maritimes

will give extreme windchill values near minus 35 for the northern half of the province early Saturday morning.

Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill.

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.
