Extreme cold is affecting Windsor-Essex. 

The Windsor Police Service reminds residents to be mindful and take the precautions during the cold weather. Police listed several tips on its social media last week. 

•Travel carefully: Roads may be icy. Slow down, leave extra space, and drive with caution.

•Check on vulnerable neighbours: Seniors, children, and those with medical conditions may be at risk. Failing to help someone in danger could have legal consequences.

•Report emergencies: If you encounter someone suffering from hypothermia or frostbite, call 911 immediately - this is a life-threatening situation.

Police says this is a reminder during the cold to stay safe, be responsible, and help keep our community protected.
