Winter has definitely come...

An extreme cold weather alert has been issued by the local health unit for Windsor and Essex County, where air temperatures are predicted to hit -40C Monday night and -42C Tuesday.

With this current extreme cold weather trend, area residents are urged to protect themselves, said medical officer of health Dr. Allen Heimann in a statement. The recommendation is that the public stay indoors and if they need to go outside, to ensure that they cover any exposed skin.

Police warned motorists to drive with caution. Roads were treacherous in parts of Essex County and one snow-covered car careered into a ditch near Manning Road and County Road 42.

The city of Windsor urged residents to take cars off the streets and park them in their driveways.
