CHICAGO (AP) — Parts of Illinois are seeing temperatures in the single digits today for a second day.
It's the same in southern Indiana. Officials trying to stem the spread of a bird flu virus in turkey farms ran into problems when a hose that sprayed a foam to suffocate poultry froze.
The falling temperatures have been accompanied by snow in parts of Michigan, where up to 16 inches of snow fell in 24 hours.
A break is expected in the Midwest later in the week, with Chicago expecting to jump into the comparatively balmy 30s by Thursday. But the sub-freezing temperatures are moving eastward taking aim at the Ohio Valley and areas of the Appalachians.
