The temperatures – dipping below -46 C in some areas – isn’t without its dangers. In Chicago it’s so cold that the railroad tracks need to be set on fire to keep the trains moving.
The cold is also causing the Chicago river to “smoke” and freeze over.
Authorities are warning residents to stay sheltered in the epic cold to stay safe and warm.
