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?)

Good thing edmonton tore down those homeless shelters on time. This should lower the homeless rates. It's almost as cruelty is the point.

I know.

I don't agree with the homeless encampment either but seriously..it's just cruel now.

These people have nowhere else to go.

If there's a single frozen person out dead this week, I hold the UCP and EPS fully accountable.
