Say hello to 142 warming centers 

The high temperature forecast for Wednesday in Chicago is -15 degrees. This will mark the coldest high temperature the city has seen since Jan. 20, 1994, when temperature highs were at -11 degrees!  And that’s just the temp… with windchill, the forecast calls for -50 degrees!! :X  Frostbite could set in on exposed skin within 10-15 minutes.

The Chicago Park District has designated 142 park field houses as warming centers for the remainder of the winter season, more HERE.

MettaWorldWarTwo on reddit was kind enough to turn the list into an easy to navigate google map HERE.

Our new governor also says, “If there is not a warming center near you, call your county emergency management agency for additional assistance.  Additionally, all Illinois Department of Human Services offices serve as warming centers during regular business hours for anyone looking to find a safe, warm place during the cold.”

Stay warm!!
