HOT | Flights are canceled, offices closed — even mail service is suspended — amid frigid Midwest we

Brutal temperatures have gripped much of the United States, sending the mercury well below zero and posing challenges for transit and outright danger for those with no place to go for warmth.

A deadly arctic deep freeze enveloped the Midwest with record breaking temperatures on Wednesday, triggering widespread closures of schools and businesses, and the canceling of more than 1,600 flights from Chicagos airports. The cold even prompted the U.S. Postal Service to suspend mail delivery to a wide swath of the region.

Hundreds of public schools and several large universities from North Dakota to Pennsylvania have canceled classes, and residents huddled inside as the National Weather Service forecast plunging temperatures from one of the coldest air masses in years. The bitter cold is theresult of a split in the polar vortexthat allowed temperatures to drop much farther south than normal.

In Chicago, temperatures were still dropping after plunging early Wednesday to minus 19 degrees, breaking the days previous record low set in 1966, though wind chills in northern Illinois made it feel as cold as negative 57 degrees. A wind chill of minus 25 can freeze skin within 15 minutes, according to the National Weather Service.

Snowplows were idled overnight in southwestern Minnesota, where temperatures dropped to negative 29 degrees. And the temperature in Fargo, North Dakota, was 31 degrees below zero.

Officials throughout the region were focused onprotecting vulnerable people from the cold, including the homeless, seniors and those living in substandard housing. Some buses were turned into mobile warming shelters to help the homeless in Chicago.

About 1,300 of Wednesdays canceled flights in Chicago were at OHare International Airport, one of the nations busiest airports. United Airlines spokesman Charlie Hobart said everything tends to slow down during severely cold weather, including manpower, fueling and equipment. Calling the temperatures dangerous, Hobart said United was bringing in extra workers and providing heated tents for employees.

A popular saying goes: Neither snow nor rain nor heat ...will stop the mail from being delivered, but the extreme cold did so Wednesday. The U.S. Postal Service has suspended mail delivery in parts or all of several Midwest states including North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.

Governors in Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan declared emergencies as the worst of the cold threatened on Wednesday. In Chicago, major attractions closed because of the bitter cold, including the Lincoln Park Zoo, the Art Institute and the Field Museum.

These conditions are actually a public health risk and you need to treat it appropriately, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Tuesday. They are life threatening conditions and temperatures.

In Michigan, homeless shelters in Lansing were becoming overloaded, Mayor Andy Schor said. They also were filling up in Detroit.

People dont want to be out there right now, said Brennan Ellis, 53, who is staying at the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries.

As she bikes or walks to work at the Field Museum on especially cold days, Akiko Shinya sometimes sniffs and feels the inside of her nostrils freeze, or blinks and feels her eyelashes briefly freeze together. Thats when she flashes back to fossil hunting in Antarctica.

I kind of like that sensation...

At least four deaths were linked to the weather system Tuesday, including a man struck and killed by a snow plow in the Chicago area, a young couple whose SUV struck another on a snowy road in northern Indiana, and a Milwaukee man found frozen to death in a garage.

Hawaii native Charles Henry, 54, was staying at a shelter in St. Paul, Minnesota, and said he was grateful to have a place to stay out of the cold.

That wind chill out there is not even a joke, he said. I feel sorry for anybody that has to stay outside.

Chicago turned five buses into makeshift warming centers moving around the city, some with nurses aboard, to encourage the homeless to come in from the cold.

Were bringing the warming shelters to them, so they can stay near all of their stuff and still warm up, said Cristina Villarreal, spokeswoman for the citys Department of Family and Support Services.

Shelters, churches and city departments in Detroit worked together to help get vulnerable people out of the cold, offering the message to those who refused help that youre going to freeze or lose a limb, said Terra DeFoe, a senior adviser to Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan.

American Indian tribes in the Upper Midwest were doing what they could to help members in need with heating supplies. The extreme cold was a scary situation, because much of the housing is of poor quality, said Chris Fairbanks, energy assistance program manager for the White Earth Band of Ojibwe in Minnesota.

The cold weather was even affecting beer deliveries, with a pair of western Wisconsin distributors saying they would delay or suspend shipments for fear that beer would freeze in their trucks.

But it wasnt stopping one of Americas most formidable endurance tests: the three day Arrowhead 135 was going on as scheduled in northeastern Minnesota. Competitors can cover the race route by bicycle, cross country skis or just running.

It Is So Cold In The Midwest That Boiling Water Is Immediately Turning To Icy Vapor - News Today - Duration: 1:58.

Midwesterners may be stuck inside this week, but if Twitter is any indication, some are finding ways to have an (Arctic) blast.

On Wednesday, a few videos popped up on the social media platform that feature people venturing outside (or to their front doors) and throwing pots, pans and cups of boiling water into the frigid, below-zero air. In every video, the boiling water immediately turns into an icy vapor.

"This is what people in Minnesota do," a woman says in one of the videos.

Although the trick looks pretty cool, the situation in the Midwest is anything but. The brutal weather is downright dangerous.

According to CNN, Chicago will be colder than some parts of Antarctica this week thanks to the polar vortex, which has caused temperatures to plunge far below zero. Chunks of ice have formed in the Chicago River, and train tracks in the city have been set ablaze while transit workers try to keep the steel from freezing.

Ten states will not receive mail on Wednesday; schools and businesses have closed; thousands of people are losing power; and the National Weather service in Des Moines told residents to "avoid taking deep breaths" and "minimize talking" to protect their lungs, per CBS Chicago.

"This could possibly be history-making," Ricky Castro, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Romeoville, Illinois, told Reuters.

So, stay inside this week, Midwesterners (and East Coasters). And maybe boil some water?

BT Daily: What Is Behind America's Immigration Crisis? - Duration: 4:34.

[Darris McNeely] Well, looking at an article in a recent issue of our Beyond Today magazine

about immigration and the issues regarding that, I was struck by a story I remember that

I went through one time that I think brings a human face to this entire issue of immigration,

migration, walls, and the whole discussion that has polarized the world and especially

the United States at this time.

I was in Israel.

My friend and I were traveling between countries.

We were actually being prepared to cross over into Jordan and we were stuck in the back

of a small bus with a bunch of other individuals who were going to make that trip as well.

Two ladies came on and they sat right in front of us.

And a gentleman was with the lady, obviously her son, and she had her bag and she was making

the trip with us.

And the son pulls, out of his pocket, a wad of money and gives it to his mother.

And, though I didn't understand Arabic, it was obvious what was taking place.

Here was a son putting his mother on the bus, giving her money so that she could make the

trip over across the border to visit some family and relatives because they had been

separated because of war, because of a border, because of hostility and the enmity between

peoples in this part of the world which is really a part of the story about all of the

migrations and immigrations and walls that we are contending with today, in spite of

all of the political ideologies that are there as well.

And it reminded me exactly of the problem that we are facing, and the actual, not just

the size of it but the individual and where all of this affects people in their daily

lives as it separates, as it divides as a result of people desiring something better.

I was reading an article about the immigration crisis, again from another source, and it

basically was saying that more than 700 million people today want to move from where they

are to another part of the world, primarily the United States and Europe.

Why?

For the majority of them, to get a better life, to have an escape from frankly, a failed

state where they are, in most cases because of war, because of corruption and poverty.

And they want a better life.

And that reminded me of a scripture, in James 5, that I think that again, at the heart of

all of this for us to consider, take a step back because we get politicized and we get

very emotional about this.

And there's something that God says that should help us to understand what is at the heart.

It speaks to people who have power, "Come now you rich, weep and howl for your miseries

that are coming upon you.

Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.

Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and

will eat your flesh like fire.

You have heaped up treasure in the last days."

And it is speaking and a poetic sense to all who hold power whether be by wealth, by politics

or other means over people.

Because in the next verse it says, "Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields,

which you kept back by fraud cry out and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears

of the Lord of Sabaoth."

(James 5:1-4)

Why people want to move, why people are on the move in the world today, more than 700

million wanting a better life?

It is because of the failed states.

It is because their governments where they are have not taken care of them to provide

peace and safety.

There is coming a better time when that will happen but before then, we've got some rocky

roads ahead of us.

So as we listen to the discussions, as we listen to the debates, let's make sure that

we take a step or two back and keep a Biblical perspective from God's eye view of what is

taking place in our world today.

And remember that borders and crossings and walls and migrations and wars and all of this

keep people separated and it comes down to the basic human yearning and desire for people

to live in harmony and to live in peace.

The absence of that creates so much of the suffering that we have.

That is BT Daily.

US NEWS | Wind chill is a real threat. It can and will harm you. - Duration: 3:02.

US NEWS | Wind chill is a real threat. It can and will harm you.

The exposed parts of your body may feel like theyre freezing. This phenomenon is called wind chill.

Thats right, the weather term isnt a myth. Wind chill is real, so heres some facts to help you understand what it means and how to protect yourself:

What is wind chill?

Wind chill is essentially how cold people and animals feel when theyre outside, according to the .

Wind chill is based on how much heat is lost from exposed skin while its windy and cold. The faster the wind, the more heat is drawn from the body, which lowers the skin temperature and, ultimately, the internal body temperature.

"The critical thing is how long you can expose your skin before freezing," said Tom Sater, CNN meteorologist. "When the winds are stronger, it can whip the heat away from your body quicker."

Wind chill only applies to people and animals, the NWS says. The only effect wind chill has on inanimate objects such as cars or water pipes is that it shortens the amount of time it takes for the object to cool.

Why is it dangerous?

Wind chill can lead to , hypothermia and, ultimately, death.

Frostbite is caused by freezing of the skin and underlying tissues. Its most common on the fingers, toes, nose, ears, cheeks and chin, according to the Mayo Clinic. Severe cases can kill body tissue.

Hypothermia occurs when your body loses heat faster than it can produce it, the Mayo Clinic says. Left untreated, it can lead to the failure of the heart and respiratory system and, eventually, death.

How is wind chill measured?

The NWS says wind chill is for temperatures at or below 50 degrees and wind speeds above 3 mph.

Wind chill "takes into account the wind and how cold it is," CNN meteorologist Taylor Ward says.

So, the colder it is and the stronger the wind, the lower the wind chill.

In 2001, the NWS launched a that features a useful formula for calculating the dangers of winter winds and freezing temperatures.

Whats the difference between wind chill and wind speed?

Wind speed is just how strong the wind is, Ward says.

"Temperature and wind speed are the two components that go into the formula to figure out the wind chill, which is how cold it actually feels," he said.

When are wind chill advisories or warnings issued?

Wind chill advisory and warning criteria are issued locally, the National Weather Service says.

For example, wind chill advisories in New York City start at 15 degrees and warnings at 25.

In Chicago, advisories start at 20 degrees and warnings at 30 degrees.

And in Atlanta, advisories start at 5 degrees and warnings at 10.

Ward says the criteria for a wind chill warning or advisory is a sliding scale and takes climatology into account.

"People in the upper Midwest are most accustomed to the cold so the wind chill has to be lower than a place like the South to prompt a warning," he said.

How can people fight against wind chill?

Layers, layers and more layers.

"Cover all exposed skin. Face masks help," Sater said.

There is a myth about hats flying around that people need to wear one because 80 percent of the bodys heat escapes from the head. Sater says exposing the head to wind chill and cold temperatures is no different than exposing an arm or leg.

Yes, fire is used to keep Chicago trains running in the cold Chicago Tribune - Duration: 2:03.

Yes, fire is used to keep Chicago trains running in the cold Chicago Tribune

If you see fire along tracks on this frigid Wednesday, dont panic. The with fire to keep switches working, and help with track repairs.

Winter weather can cause snow and ice to clog switches, which control which rail trains run on. Clogged switches can bring trains to a halt until the blockage is cleared.

To combat the problem, Metra uses a gas fed system that runs adjacent to the rail, generating heat in areas where switches are supposed to make contact. This system is used in normal winter weather, not just in the extreme cold seen Wednesday, explained spokesman Michael Gillis. The system is turned on when the temperature is between 40 and 32 and stays on when its below 32.

Extreme cold weather can cause steel to contract, causing breaks, said Metra spokeswoman Meg Thomas Reile. While Metra uses continuously welded rail on most of the system, there are some locations near switches and some crossings where the rail is bolted together. Those areas are the most vulnerable to separating in frigid temperatures, although breaks can happen anywhere along the line.

The Chicago area is in the midst of a dangerous cold spell that could see record low temperatures. You can always find the latest forecast . Heres everything else you need to know, straight from the experts:

Dr. Ernest Wang,...

To repair the breaks, Metra heats the rail, usually with a rope soaked in kerosene that is laid along the base of the rail and lit on fire, Thomas Reile said. The fire heats up the rail and once it expands, workers pull the rails back together and rebolt them or weld them.

Depending on the damage, workers also may need to cut and insert a short section of rail and weld it in place to bring the rails back together, Thomas Reile said.

Broken tracks, on the Metra system Wednesday, especially on the Union Pacific Northwest from Harvard and McHenry, where delays can be more than an hour. Metra Electric District service has been suspended because of wire problems.

Metra service overall is running on a modified schedule Wednesday and Thursday because of the cold. For updates on the agencys service, .

If you see fire along Metra tracks on this frigid Wednesday, don panic. The with fire to keep switches working, and help with track repairs.
