MONTREAL - Quebec is bracing for extreme cold this weekend, as a cold air mass from the Arctic is expected to bring plunging temperatures and an elevated risk of frost bite and hypothermia.

The Montreal area is under a yellow cold warning, which warns of frigid weather with wind chill values reaching almost -35 C Friday night.
