‘Stay inside’: Long stretch of extreme cold expected as Arctic air moves into Sask. | 650 CKOM

Saskatchewan is bracing for a prolonged period of extreme cold as an Arctic air mass moves into the province, with Environment Canada issuing cold warnings for almost the entire region. Wind chills as low as -45 C are expected to persist for several days, prompting advice to limit outdoor exposure and dress warmly if going outside. The cold weather has led to transportation adjustments, with some school bus services cancelled, and has posed unique challenges for emergency services, such as firefighters, who must ensure water in their hoses does not freeze.
