School buses cancelled across Northern Ontario communities due to extreme cold

other Nature was a little brutal this week as Northern Communities were recipients of some of the coldest temperatures of the year. As extreme cold warnings were issued for the north, in Chapleau, the mercury dipped to -38
C with a wind chill factor ranging from -40 to -50 C. School bus transportation was cancelled yesterday, Wednesday January 26th. As frostbite can develop within minutes people were advised to stay indoors if at all
possible. It’s a good time to sit at the kitchen table with a hot coffee and plan your garden, order your seeds and daydream about black flies. Spring is just around the bend, apparently!
