Even though the Southeast has suffered greatly with the large snowfall on December 5th, Environment Canada is saying that was just the beginning.

"The arctic cold air that's moved in to the province behind that system that brought all of that snow, it looks like it's going to stick around for at least seven days and, potentially, beyond," warned Regional Meteorologist, John Paul Cragg. 

With the arctic cold air moving in, this could mean that temperatures can take a dive to the tune of -40 going in to next week. On top of that, hypothermia will be prominent. 

"Once we hit wind chill warning criteria, which is about -40 or below, skin can freeze between two to five minutes. It becomes very dangerous being outside if you have exposed skin and if you're not properly bundled up. As well, when you get to temperatures that low, you're looking at the possibility of hypothermia," he added. 

"If you are driving, make sure you are dressed for the weather and you have an emergency kit in your vehicle. If you do end up in a ditch or you get stuck, you have to stay warm long enough for emergency services to help you out. Also, if you're outside and you have any kind of exposed skin, that can freeze quite quickly."

He also advised that in situations where a wind chill warning exist, stay indoors as much as you can.
