The wind chill in Calgary has hit dangerous levels.
Minus 40 degrees Celsius is the threshold mark for the wind chill.
It’s at that point when people venturing outdoors come under a high risk of exposed skin freezing in five to ten minutes.
Wind chill values Tuesday morning dipped below minus 40, so if Calgarians are going out to brush the car or wait for the bus they’re being advised to make sure they dress in warm layers of clothing and cover all exposed skin including the face, if possible.
