Extreme cold warnings cover virtually all of Manitoba on Monday morning, as the province plunges into dangerously cold temperatures, prompting several school closures.
An Arctic ridge of high pressure combined with winds of 10 to 20 km/h will make it feel like it's between –40 and –50, Environment Canada says.
This ultra-cold weather is expected to last the rest of the week, with temperatures averaging below –30 C, and nothing above –20 C, said CBC meteorologist John Sauder.
