Extreme Cold Forces Chicago Public Schools to Cancel Classes

With wind chills reaching minus 30 degrees, the city experiences its coldest air mass in five years.

Chicago Public Schools have cancelled all classes and after-school activities for Tuesday due to extreme cold and wind chills that could make temperatures feel as low as minus 30 degrees.
No remote learning has been scheduled, but schools are expected to reopen on Wednesday.
The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill warning that extends into Tuesday afternoon, with an advisory continuing through Wednesday morning.
The freezing air mass is the coldest Chicago has seen in five years, with the last comparable cold snap in January 2019.
Despite the extreme cold, some Chicagoans are continuing with their daily routines, with one resident stating, 'This is just normal to me.'
