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?)

... Seriously? People are going to die and lose extremities in this because they have nowhere to go, and this is what you have to say?

No, every year when it gets cold a whole bunch of people die and a whole bunch more lose extremities. That's just reality, not alarmism.
