Environment Canada has issued an extreme cold warning for Winnipeg and southern Manitoba. That means temperatures will feel like -40 to -45 with the windchill tonight and into Tuesday morning.

Northwest winds will gust from 10-15 km/h.

“We are currently receiving 1 call per minute for service — we expect that to double or even triple in the next hour,” CAA said at around 7:30 a.m.
