    It’s Official, Chicago Is Colder Than Parts Of The Arctic, Yukon, And Mars

    CHICAGO (CBS) — Chicago is not the coldest place on Earth right now, but it’s not as far off as you might think. While Minnesota might have it worse for the time being, Chicago’s frigid weather is worse than parts of Siberia, the Yukon and the Arctic. In fact, the deep freeze is even colder than recent temperatures on Mars.
    The temperature in Chicago plunged to -22° by 6 a.m. on Wednesday. By comparison, it’s 13° – or 35° warmer – in Murmansk, Russia, which is north of the Arctic Circle.


    The northernmost town in the United States, Utqiagvik, Alaska, is also north of the Arctic Circle, and is -6° on Wednesday.

    It certainly doesn't *look* like 23 BELOW.

    At the base camp for Mount Everest, located 17,000 feet above sea level, it’s a relatively balmy 30°.
    Even Mars recently had better temperatures than Chicago. The Mars Curiosity Rover has temperature gauges, and according to NASA’s website, the most recent weather data from Mars showed a high of 19°. At least we don’t have to worry about getting close to the low on Mars, which was -99.4°, according to NASA’s most recent data.
    Here are some other notoriously frigid locations that are warmer than Chicago on Wednesday, including parts of the Yukon, the South Pole and Scandinavia.
    • Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada: -13°
    • Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station: -5°
    • Old Crow, Yukon Territory, Canada 0°
    • Ottawa, Canada: 1°
    • Upernavik, Greenland: 2°
    • Fairbanks, Alaska: 2°
    • Zackenberg, Greenland: 4°
    • Oslo, Norway: 9°
    • Irkutsk, Russia: 14°
    • Edmonton, Canada: 15°
    • Stockholm, Sweden: 19°
    • Nome, Alaska: 22°
    • Reykjavik, Iceland: 23°
    • Vladivostok: Russia: 25°
    • Helsinki, Finland: 29°
    • Copenhagen, Denmark, 36°

    At least we can be thankful we’re not in Minneapolis, where it’s -27° this morning, or Yakutsk, Russia, where it’s -47°. So we have that going for us, which is nice.

    9 Dead As 'Polar Vortex' Leaves 11 States Colder Than North Pole ; Hell (Literally) Freezes Over



    "It's -7 degrees in Hell, Michigan, right now, with a wind chill of -28. You know what that means people... Hell has literally frozen over..."

    Midwesterners continue to struggle with the lingering effects of the dreaded 'Polar Vortex'.



    The coldest location in the U.S. on Thursday was Cotton, Minn., where the temperature reached minus 56 °F.
    The coldest location in the U.S. on Wednesday was Norris Camp, Minn., where it was minus 48 °F, with a wind chill of minus 65 °F.



    The sub-zero Arctic-style temperatures across much of the region, including cities like Chicago, Kansas City and Detroit, has turned deadly, as USNews reports that authorities are attributing at least nine deaths to the record-cold.
    The medical examiner's office in Milwaukee, where temperatures plunged to minus-42 degrees, confirmed on Tuesday the death of a 55-year-old man found dead in his garage.
    Authorities in Michigan confirmed two weather-related deaths on Wednesday, including a former city council member found near his home and a 70-year-old man who had been out in the elements in just his underwear. Detroit experienced wind chills as cold as minus-32 degrees Wednesday.

    A 22-year-old man was found dead in Rochester, Minnesota, on Tuesday, WCCO-TV reported. Police say Ali Gombo likely died from hypothermia. In Iowa, a student was found unresponsive outside in cold temperatures where the wind chill reached minus-51 degrees. He later died at the hospital, according to the Press-Citizen. Classes at the University of Iowa were canceled Tuesday through Thursday due to the extreme weather. An 82-year-old man was found outside in Peoria, Illinois, on Tuesday after he fell trying to get inside his house, the Journal Start reported.

    Parts of Lake Michigan have frozen...



    The deep freeze resulted in the coldest temperatures in the US in recent memory.
    And as it plunged southward, temperatures plummeted lower than 20 degrees below zero (Farenheit) from North Dakota to northern Illinois during the morning hours of both Wednesday and Thursday.


    NWS Chicago @NWSChicago

    Another coooold start.

    Widespread temperatures of -15° to -30° to start today, and yes that is actual temperatures. While far less wind than yesterday, still enough for added danger & a wind chill warning is in effect until noon. Dress in layers and limit exposure. #ILwx #INwx

    In Winnepeg and Manitoba, the temperature dropped so low it neared the surface temperature of Mars, making the Canadian cities likely contenders for the coldest places on Earth.

    The coldest spot in Canada on Wednesday was Key Lake, Saskatchewan, with an air temperature reading of -47.2 Celsius (roughly -52.6 degrees Fahrenheit). In International Falls, Minnesota, temperatures fell as low as -45 degrees Celsius (-49 degrees Fahrenheit).




    In a sign that Mother Nature does indeed have a sense of humor, one reporter pointed out that Hell (the one in Michigan) has literally frozen over.

    Additionally, Axios reports that Chicagoans reporter hearing loud noises and banging overnight, likely as a result of a "frost quake," or a cryoseism, per local WGN-TV, which occurs when a sudden drop in temperatures causes underground water to freeze and expand, causing the ground to crack.
