THUNDER BAY -- Environment Canada warning those in the Geraldton, Manitouwadge, Hornepayne areas to bundle up.

The government weather agency says minimum temperatures of -30C to -32 with wind chill values near -40.

Risks are greater for young children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, people working or exercising outdoors, and those without proper shelter.

Dress warmly. Dress in layers that you can remove if you get too warm. The outer layer should be wind resistant.

Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill.

If it's too cold for you to stay outside, it's too cold for your pet to stay outside.
