Extreme cold warnings cover nearly all of Manitoba

Nearly all of Manitoba excluding, oddly, where the polar bears are is under an extreme cold warning.

Environment Canada's weather alerts map has coloured the province red, save for the Churchill, The Pas, Flin Flon and Norway House regions.

Temperatures around30 C to 35 C, combined with winds up to 20 km/h, are expected to createextreme wind chill values of 40 to 45 on Monday, the weather agency says.

Those extreme wind chill values are expected to moderate slightly during the day but the majority of the province will likely be plunged back into the deep freeze again Tuesday night.
