City, minus 10 in St. Louis, and minus 3 in Louisville. In the Chicago area, resi- dents were bracing for a his- toric deep freeze. Monday’s high was expected to be minus 4 degrees and drop as low as 17 below zero down- town, with wind chills as low as 40 below zero. Temperatures could re- main below zero Tuesday as well and remain below zero for a total of 60 hours — the longest stretch since tem- peratures stayed below zero for a record 98 hours in 1983 and the third longest stretch in 80 years. It also would easily eclipse the 36 straight hours temperatures stayed below zero earlier this month, when the frigid weather prompted the city’s public schools to close for two days. By noon Sunday, Chicago’s school district, which has approximately 400,000 students attending more than 650 schools, said it would be closed Monday. Districts in the Chicago sub- urbs also announced they’d be closed Monday. In Michigan, snow on the roads and deep subfreezing temperatures contributed to multiple crashes Sunday that forced expressway clos- ings. And on Saturday night, two people were killed in Grand Haven Township in western Michigan because of similar weather conditions, authorities said. North Dakota and South Dakota residents dealt with dangerous cold Sunday and wind gusts that reached up to 60 mph. The high winds led to blowing snow that made it nearly impossible to travel in some areas of the two states. “This is definitely the most widespread event we’ve had this year,” said Adam Jones, a weather serv- ice meteorologist in Grand Forks, N.D. Snow and high winds in Indiana led officials there to restrict vehicle traffic or rec- ommend only essential travel in more than half of the state’s counties. In Iowa, snow was falling on Sunday and high winds were expected, prompting officials to warn that travel- ing would be dangerous. Forecasters there called for wind chills to be as low as 40 below zero on Monday. Beverly Christensen Beverly Y.
