You know it's getting unreasonably cold when maddened human beings up and start lighting train tracks on fire. We're specifically looking at a scenario where Metra crews in Chicago set fires along switchers to stop the tracks from potentially contracting, due to such extreme cold. No thank you!
Hell froze over and it's in Chicago.

Food shortages meant that many fans were left with nothing but french fries to snack on as the game progressed.
The Cubs ended up losing their game 3-0 against the St. Louis Cardinals
According to Thrillest the waffles are deep-fried in vegetable shortening and dipped in sugar, marshmallow, maple, or chocolate glazes. Add toppings like sprinkles, granola, or chocolate shavings, and voila: wonut! When will the madness stop?
