In Winnipeg, with the windchill making overnight temperatures feel like – 45 degrees Celsius, it\u2019s the kind of cold that can freeze your skin in minutes — the kind of cold that can kill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As extreme cold weather warnings spread across parts of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Quebec and Ontario, already deaths are following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thirty-one year old Ashley Kematch was a mother, a daycare worker from The Pas in Manitoba. This week, she left for a night out with friends, but never got home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RCMP discovered her body on a residential street Monday. She had frozen to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe had so many friends, I don\u2019t know why she was by herself,\u201d Flora, her grandmother, told CTV News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kematch\u2019s aunt added the family still has many unanswered questions about what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere was everybody, why didn\u2019t anybody see her?\u201d April Kematch said. \u201cFrom what we gather, she was maybe by herself there for four or five hours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And as the temperatures drop, the situation becomes more and more dire for those who have nowhere to go to escape the bitter cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The homeless have often used Winnipeg bus shelters as a last resort to try to stay warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A man was found dead in one on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWinnipeg has an extreme cold warning in effect at least part of the day everyday since last Wednesday,\u201d Natalie Hasell of Environment Canada told CTV News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And those warnings are continuing tonight, from Saskatchewan east into North western Ontario and Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This, after the same region was hammered by blizzards earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Across the affected regions, Environment Canada is warning that regions could see temperatures anywhere from -38 degrees to -45 depending on location and wind chill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The extreme cold warnings are set to last until Thursday morning at the earliest, with some regions not seeing an uptick in temperature until Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
