Just when residents of the southeast thought that it couldn't get any colder, the wind chill dropped again. This time it's affecting the entire province.

Environment Canada Regional Meteorologist John-Paul Cragg says that this is the result of yet another system moving across the prairies.

"This low, called a McKenzie low, started out in the Northwest Territories and moved down through Saskatchewan into southern Manitoba. They're not very common but they do occur."

He stressed a warning on the effect the extreme temperatures have on the body.

"It's very dangerous to be outside. Exposed skin can freeze in under 10 minutes in these conditions, so it's very important to cover up especially if you are going to be out for any extended period of time."

He also expressed the importance to watch out for hypothermia, as the body can cool down very quickly.

Cragg noted as well that the low brought visibility problems on the highways as a result of blowing snow.

"Strong winds can materialize in behind the system. Because of that, the southeast corner of the province saw winds gusting up to 84 kilometres an hour on Wednesday night."

However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, as Cragg reveals that a warm-up is coming.

"Temperatures by Monday could be close to the zero mark, so there is a big change on the way for the Estevan area."
