The worst of the latest blast of bitterly cold air was at its strongest Monday night into Tuesday morning, and residents are begging for spring. And thanks to widespread school cancelations, parents were forced to bring their kids to work or leave them at home alone.
"Dangerously cold temperatures will continue in the Midwest for the start of the work week with wind chills in the -20s, -30s and -40s," said weather.com meteorologist Chris Dolce. "In Chicago, the low temperature Tuesday morning will rival the coldest reading we saw in early January. Some cities will threaten daily record lows on Tuesday morning."
In Chicago, temperatures had fallen below zero by Monday afternoon with wind chills in the negative double-digits.
Residents of Minnesota and Wisconsin faced similar if even somewhat more severe weather.
Wind chills in the minus 40s were expected in Minneapolis, while in Milwaukee the chill hit minus 23 by mid-afternoon. Elsewhere, wind chills of minus 18 were expected in Dayton, Ohio, minus 14 in Kansas City, Mo., and minus 3 in Louisville, Ky.
