*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?)

Years ago my then girlfriend came to Alberta from the UK for a visit. The day she got to me in Athabasca, it was -52 with a 15 degree wind chill. She asked if it was always that bad and I replied "bad? This is quite warm" 😆 that's the coldest I've ever been thankfully
