    Alberta was visited overnight by Jack Frost, leading to extreme cold warnings across most of the province.

    Environment and Climate Change Canada issued an extreme cold warning around 4 a.m. Friday.

    “Today will be another cold day with temperatures well below seasonal and similar to what we’ve experienced all week,” said Tiffany Lizée, Global News Calgary chief meteorologist.

    So what is causing this flurry of icy air? Lizée attributes this to a polar vortex, which is an area of ​​low pressure over the poles, and a trough in the jet stream that pushes cold arctic air into western Canada.

    Extreme cold warnings are issued when very cold temperatures or wind chills create an increased risk to health, such as frostbite and hypothermia.

    People are advised to dress warmly by pulling up layers, and to remove several layers if they get too hot. The agency said the outer layer must be windproof to combat the wind chill.
