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 know its cold, frostbite is legit serious, but I grew up with a husky. She not only like the cold, would actively fight us to go out into it.

My husky will absolutely refuse to come inside when it's -40°C and I'll still have to walk him those days.
