There are some dangerous windchills across the entire province and Prince Albert isn’t even the coldest spot.

Regina comes in first with -48 C, Melfort is with -45 C and it is -41 C in Prince Albert.
With extreme windchills comes the risk of frost bite.

Lyle Karasiuk with Parkland Ambulance says exposed skin can freeze in less than a minute.

“So all exposed skin, fingers obviously, good winter boots, your face most importantly, cover up and bundle up today,” he said.

Karasiuk says seniors and children are more prone to the cold and should wear an extra layer of clothing when venturing outside.
