Polar Vortex: -50F (-46C) Temperatures as Chicago River Turns to Ice
A blast of Arctic air from the polar vortex has meant temperatures (with wind chill) are set to drop to as low as -50F (-46C) in Chicago. Cities in the midwest opened warming shelters as temperatures plummeted well below zero. The Illinois governor warned the weather ‘poses a serious threat’ to people’s wellbeing. The polar vortex, a mass of freezing air, usually spins around the north pole. What did you think?
