On Tuesday, wind chill temperatures in dozens of cities across Minnesota and North Dakota plunged to 60 degrees below zero or less, according to the National Weather Service. By Wednesday morning, temperatures had plummeted to 21 degrees below zero in Chicago – a record for the date – and iced the Chicago River. In Minneapolis, temperatures dropped to minus-27 degrees and Green Bay, Wisconsin, dipped to minus-19 degrees.

All hell puns aside, the polar vortex that the United States experience in January 2019 took the lives of at least 22 people.

Hell, Michigan is no stranger to winter weather.  In January, Hell averages a high of 32 and a low of 15.  That's still a long way down to -15.  If someone tells you to go to hell, maybe wait until Spring.
