Wardrobe Recommendations

• Today: Winter coat with wind protection, warm mid-layer (fleece/wool), toque, insulated mitts, and a scarf/neck warmer.

• Tonight & Monday morning (wind chill -29 to -30): Cover exposed skin—add a face covering and warmer mitts. Frostbite risk increases fast in strong wind.

• Driving/travel: Keep extra gloves, a blanket, and a phone charger in the vehicle—cold can become a problem quickly if you’re delayed outside town.

Weather Trivia

Wind chill doesn’t change the actual air temperature—but it does change how fast your body loses heat. That’s why a “moderate” temperature like -15°C can feel dangerously cold when the wind is gusting to 50 km/h.
