  2. The biggest #weather concern for the #Northland Sunday night and Monday morning will be the below zero #temperatures and strong #wind #gusts. It will feel at times -30° to -40°, making #frostbite a big concern.

    #Snow #showers are slowly winding down, but still a #travel risk for the South Shore tonight.

  3. EXTREME COLD ALERT:

    For the first time since they changed the name from #WindChill #Warning, nearly all of the #Northland is under a #Extreme #Cold Warning from Saturday night through Tuesday morning.

    Wind chills as cold as 45-below are possible. #Frostbite can form in as little as 10 minutes on exposed skin, plus the increase risk for #hypothermia if you are outside with improper clothing.

    Please take it safe out there!

  4. Moderate cold is sensed by #TRPM8 channels, but what about extreme cold?
    Peter McNaughton, Tamara Buijs et al at Kings College London identify a #STIM1-#ORAI-mediated mechanism in sympathetic #neurons that may prevent #frostbite through cold‐induced#vasodilation
