Chicago Weather: You Can Get Frostbite In 5 Minutes Today And Tomorrow by Bishopp007: 1:56pm On Jan 30, 2019 |
As Chicagoans brace for a historic streak of subzero temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday, the National Weather Service is warning residents about how quickly frostbite can occur. Temperatures could plummet to minus-24 degrees early Wednesday morning, with wind gusts of up to 30 miles per hour, the National Weather Service says. Those temps can cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as five minutes, the weather service warns. Even if temperatures increase to minus-15 later Wednesday, the forecasted high, winds of 15-20 miles per hour with gusts of 30 mph mean frostbite could strike in as few as 10 minutes. Although it could get colder Wednesday night, with predicted lows of minus-26, lower wind speeds mean you’d still risk frostbite in about 10 minutes. Wind Chill Chart The National Weather Service’s windchill chart shows how quickly Chicagoans can get frostbite during this week’s cold snap. | National Weather Service Chicagoans should stay indoors and check on their neighbors for the next two days, city officials said Tuesday. The city will open 142 public buildings and facilities in the next two days as warming centers. https://www.google.com/amp/s/chicago.suntimes.com/news/frostbite-weather-cold-temperatures-wind-chill-polar-vortex/amp/ 1 Like 1 Share

I'm seeing -45 on my screen. People were warned to stay indoors and the homeless are provided shelter. This is so extreme. |
