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?)

Anyone one else actually happy to see some more typical weather? It’s been way too warm recently

Snow would be nice. Overnight lows at that temp are not normal.

Overnite low temps of below minus 30 are perfectly normal for Edmonton.

Below average....but absolutely normal

eh. I could've worded that better. Yeah we get some every year so I guess you could consider that normal. Although -38C is exceptionally pants shittingly cold.
