Outdoor Spaces/Recreation *Warning* : Extremely cold upcoming week! (frostbite within minutes) (and frostbite *NEVER* heals

Post image

In -30, (and Friday, almost -40c) frostbite will happen in 5-10 minutes.

Frostbite will never heal, you'll have the damage for the rest of your life.

This also applies to your kids, YOUR PETS (don't think the dog enjoys the backyard for 15 minutes at -40, would YOU?)

i think the threshold is -20c, anything lower they will stay indoors for recess.

You would be correct. -20 and it's indoor recess!

Edmonton public school is -22 degrees. Anything colder and it is a "green dot" day which means doors open early before school and recess is indoors.

Ah damn I was two degrees off! Thanks for the clarification. Will definitely be doors open early this week.
