CHICAGO (CBS) — In need of a break from Chicago's arctic cold? Try heading to Antarctica. Monday's temperatures are in the single digits, but in Antarctica, highs are in the 30s. Meteorologist Kylee Miller said January is actually the warmest month in Antarctica, when highs reach the 30s to 50s, depending on whether the location is inland or on the coast. Chicago is also colder than North Pole, Alaska, where highs are in the mid-20s.
Main Idea: Chicago is facing such severe cold that it is colder than Antarctica right now, with dangerous wind chills and a cold weather advisory in place.
Key Points:
Extreme cold can raise heating bills, disrupt commutes, and increase risks for workers, older adults, and people without reliable shelter.
