Chicago freezing temps begin to ease

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/weather/ct-wea-1006-summary-20141005-column.html

Record cold on Saturday, and near-freezing temperatures across portions of the Chicago area Sunday morning, were the product of a deep, stationary storm system north of Lake Superior.
Known to meteorologists as a "cut-off" low, typical west-to-east movement of the system remains stalled. Cold air pooled around this low is forecast to erode by midweek, allowing the circulation to eventually shift to eastern Canada. As jet stream flow becomes more westerly, milder air will overspread the region.
