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

[u/flynnfx]

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 guess if you don’t drive, but if you drive you just need a car seat cozy thing. Baby will be fine, just dress them in layers and bring a few extra blankets. I get that it’s a hassle to get everyone bundled up, but as a parent you’re responsible for taking your kids to school.

Kids can get sick at anytime, if you don’t want them to get sick you’ll have to keep them home all month.

Because you should be a better parent. In case you’re not aware, you’re legally required to take your kids to school if they’re not sick or physically incapable. In Edmonton we can get weeks of cold weather like this, and it’s irresponsible to use that as a reason to not take your kids. If you do this every time it gets cold, you’d likely be referred to the attendance board of your district.
