Windsor-Essex braces for extreme winter cold, as health unit issues warning

The local health unit is warning of extreme cold, while the city is adding more beds in shelters, in preparation for a cold snap expected to hit the region. Environment Canada is forecasting temperatures as low as -18 C Friday, or -27 with the wind chill. Overnight, that could drop to -32 with the wind chill. That’s prompted the Windsor Essex County Health Unit to issue a cold weather warning, triggered when temperatures below -15 C without the wind chill are expected.
