According to Public Health warning signs of hypothermia include shivering, exhaustion, confusion, fumbling hands, memory loss, slurred speech and drowsiness. 

Signs of frostbite include a white or grayish-yellow skin area, skin that feels unusually firm or waxy, and numbness.

Locals experiencing any of these symptoms are encouraged to get medical attention. 

County officials are reminding residents the Inn Out of the Cold homeless shelter is open nightly from 7pm until 7am at Old St. Paul's Anglican Church, 723 Dundas Street, Woodstock.
