A cold morning across Chicagoland Friday.

O’Hare’s low temp dropped to 0 and Midway to 1. The wind chill at O’Hare was at 16-below at 8am. But thermometer readings bottomed out at 11-below at Genoa in DeKalb County and 10-below st Woodstock and Shabbona–in McHenry and DeKalb counties respectively.

A bit of “ sea smoke “ ( I.e. steam ) can be seen coming off Lake Michigan in this video shot looking out over the lake from Chicago’s North Side Edgewater neighborhood. And lake-effect clouds can be seen towering into the sky in the distance. These clouds are snowing across the lake in Lower Michigan.
