I'm likely a little West of you and the lowest temperature that I saw was -25 degrees F this morning at about 7:30 AM. It's now getting better with -5 degrees F.
The leagues I'm in didn't play this week. Kind of missed the chance to go out, but happy they made good choices.
We'll have to go out tomorrow as it's supposed to get up to +23 degrees.
I've seen a lot of cold weather in Chicagoland, but never like this.
I told my wife about my working at US Steel years ago and having to walk miles from the gate to the blast furnace in snow piled up 3 or 4 feet and below zero temps each day for a week or so.
Several of the guys either couldn't make it into work or they couldn't get back home. I had no problem getting in and out as I94 was wide open to the exits I used each day. With little or no traffic it was easier than normal to get back and forth. Guess I didn't get paid any overtime like some others did...
