LOOK AT THE SNOW HEADED THIS WAY IN A FEW MINUTES.
THE BONE CHILLING COLD IS ALREADY WREAKING HAVOC AROUND THE CHICAGO AREA.
WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE ON THE ARCTIC BLAST.
WE START WITH AUDRINA.
SHE'S LIVE IN AURORA WHERE OFFICIALS HAVE CALLED OFF SCHOOL TOMORROW.
REPORTER: THIS IS ONE OF JUST MORE THAN A DOZEN SCHOOLS HERE IN AURORA THAT HAVE CANCELED CLASSES FOR TOMORROW AND THERE ARE DOZENS MORE ACROSS THE AREA.
FOR THOSE THAT WILL HAVE TO BRAVE IT AND GET TO THE BUS STOP IN THE MORNING OR WALK TO WORK, SO MANY ARE BRACING FOR WHAT'S TO COME.
WHILE THE EXTREME COLD SETS IN.
WE'RE JUST IN LAYERS NOW.
REPORTER: THE HUNT FOR A BIGGER, WARMER COAT IS ON.
FREEING IT, DEFINITELY.
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THICK.
I'VE BEEN PUTTING IT OFF.
REPORTER: BUT YOU CAN'T ANYMORE? YEAH, I CAN'T.
IT'S CRAZY COLD RIGHT NOW.
REPORTER: ON THE EVE OF EVEN COLDER TEMPERATURES.
PICKING UP MY SON FROM SCHOOL AND HE WAS LITERALLY SHIVERING.
GOT A NICE WARM COAT.
THAT'S A SIMPSON COAT.
REPORTER: WHILE SOME ARE LITERALLY RUNNING TO GET OUT OF THE COLD, THESE LADIES HEADED OUT TO THE ARBORETUM.
WE CAME HERE FOR THE ILLUMINATION.
WE JUST WANTED TO SEE THE LIGHTS WHEN THERE WAS ACTUALLY SNOW ON THE GROUND.
REPORTER: BUT THEY SAW THIS SIGN WHEN THEY SHOWED UP.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS, IT IS CANCELED TONIGHT.
I SAW THE WEATHER FORECAST THIS MORNING AND THEY WERE CALLING FOR DANKS TEMPERATURES TO BE OUTSIDE.
REPORTER: CLOSE TO 1,000 PEOPLE BOUGHT TICKETS FOR THE EVENT.
WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE OUR TICKETS AND TRANSFER IT TO A NEW DAY.
REPORTER: HOPEFULLY IT'S WARMER.
I HOPE SO.
REPORTER: CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL REMAIN OPEN.
SCHOOL OFFICIALS SAY ENGINEERS ARE WORKING TO MAKE SURE ALL THE HEATING SYSTEMS ARE WORKING.
