Most of the southern Prairies remain under extreme cold warnings from Environment Canada.

The cold Arctic air is being made to feel colder due to wind chill values.

Extremely cold wind chill values near minus 40 continue before moderating later this morning.

Extreme cold puts everyone at risk. Risks are greater for young children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, people working or exercising outdoors, and those without proper shelter.

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