A milder air mass will begin to move in Tuesday.
Here’s what temperatures we can expect to see throughout the rest of the week.
Risks are greater for young children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, people working or exercising outdoors, and those without proper shelter.
Environment Canada is reminding people to cover up, and that frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill.
Environment Canada is also reminding people that if it’s too cold for you to stay outside, it’s too cold for your pet to stay outside.
Keep warm, Halton.
