The best way to protect yourself is to familiarize yourself with what to look out for.

Trivia Answer
You are at a higher risk of frostbite when the wind chill temperature drops below -27 degrees Celsius. We have been experiencing frigid temperatures for weeks, and it is best to arm yourself with the knowledge to understand how to appropriately dress for the extreme cold. Wind can make cold temperatures feel even colder; this is why we always factor in the wind chill temperature. For example, if it says -23 Celsius on your weather app, make sure to check what it actually "feels like" and dress for that temperature. Remember, wear woolly layers and limit the time your skin is exposed to avoid frostbite. Learn more on how to manage the extreme cold.
