HOW COLD IS IT?

00:19.566 --> 00:25.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
SOUNDS LIKE A SETUP TO A JOKE.

00:25.066 --> 00:31.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
WE LIVE IN CHICAGO WITH WINTER.

00:28.600 --> 00:33.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
DUH WE EXPECT IT WILL BE COLD,

00:31.400 --> 00:35.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
RIGHT?

00:31.700 --> 00:35.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
BUT IF YOU THINK IT'S FEELING

00:33.400 --> 00:36.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
MORE FRIGID THAN NORMAL YOU ARE

00:35.566 --> 00:40.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
RIGHT.

00:35.866 --> 00:41.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
IT IS.

00:36.400 --> 00:43.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
AND THAT'S ARRIVEDDERRER, TOO.

00:47.300 --> 00:55.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
THE COLDEST ON RECORD.

00:50.600 --> 00:58.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
THE U.S. STARTED KEEPING THE

DATA IN 1871 AND NEVER SINCE HAS

00:55.733 --> 01:01.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%

COLD.

00:59.033 --> 01:05.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%

IN 1969.

01:03.500 --> 01:10.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU BUT

01:05.566 --> 01:13.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THINGS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO GET

01:07.200 --> 01:16.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
BETTER AND WARMER SOON.

01:10.133 --> 01:17.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
SUBDO 0 TEMPERATURES WITHOUT --

01:13.866 --> 01:18.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
SUB20 TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED

01:16.066 --> 01:22.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
THROUGH SATURDAY.

01:17.233 --> 01:23.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
WE'LL TIE ANOTHER RECORD FOR 12

01:18.733 --> 01:23.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
DAYS IN A ROW TEMPERATURES BELOW

01:22.800 --> 01:26.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:10%

MATTHEW FRIEDLEIN SAYS THE

01:23.800 --> 01:31.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%

MILD MEANS THE AVERAGE OF 30°.

01:31.066 --> 01:36.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
BUT AT THIS POINT, SNOW IS

01:32.633 --> 01:37.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
LIKELY ON THOSE DAYS.

01:34.000 --> 01:39.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
AND THEN, NEXT WEEK, IT WILL

01:36.233 --> 01:42.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
CHILL AGAIN.

01:37.800 --> 01:43.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
MIND YOU, CHICAGO TYPICALLY GETS

01:39.866 --> 01:46.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THE COLDEST WEATHER IN JANUARY

01:42.366 --> 01:48.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
LATE JANUARY THROUGH FEBRUARY.

01:43.666 --> 01:51.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%

01:46.900 --> 01:53.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
COLD-SNAP, AMANDA?

01:48.066 --> 01:57.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> THIS COLD-SNAP MAKE SURE I'M

01:51.333 --> 01:58.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
RIGHT HERE, MATTHEW FRIEDLEIN

01:53.000 --> 02:00.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
SAYS IT'S LA ANYONE YEAH.

01:57.600 --> 02:03.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
THAT --

01:58.400 --> 02:05.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
LA NINA.

02:00.633 --> 02:06.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
THAT MAKES FOR ACTIVE WEATHER

02:03.233 --> 02:07.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
PATTERNS HAVE AN ARCTIC MASS

02:05.233 --> 02:09.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
THAT BUILT SINCE THAT

02:06.733 --> 02:12.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
CHRISTMASTIME SNOW.

02:07.733 --> 02:14.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
AND THE SNOW ON THE GROUND ACTS

02:09.933 --> 02:16.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
AS A SORT OF FREEZER THAT KEEPS

02:12.700 --> 02:18.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THE WEATHER FRIGID BECAUSE THE

02:14.600 --> 02:19.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
SNOW ISN'T ABSORBING ANY OF THE

02:16.700 --> 02:20.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
SUNLIGHT AND IT'S ALL REFLECTING

02:18.666 --> 02:21.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:12.5%
BACK.

02:19.433 --> 02:23.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> WHAT A IMPLEMENTS APARTMENT

02:20.933 --> 02:24.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
COMBINATION.

02:21.333 --> 02:25.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
PEOPLE NEED TO BE BUNDLED UP

02:23.433 --> 02:27.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
THIS WEATHER PARTICULARLY.

02:24.433 --> 02:28.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
WHAT ELSE?

02:25.300 --> 02:29.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
>> WELL, YOU WANT TO WEAR

02:27.233 --> 02:30.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
LAYERS, STAY HYDRATED.

02:28.533 --> 02:33.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
EAT A LOT.

02:29.366 --> 02:34.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
I CAN DO THAT.

02:30.866 --> 02:36.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
AND CALL 311 IF THERE IS A

02:33.033 --> 02:38.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
PROBLEM WITH YOUR HEAT.

02:34.200 --> 02:40.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
AND IF YOU NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE

02:36.466 --> 02:41.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
WARM GO TO A WARMING CENTER.

02:38.133 --> 02:42.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
CALL 311 FOR A RIDE TO ONE,

02:40.800 --> 02:43.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:12.5%
EVEN.

02:41.100 --> 02:45.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THERE ARE SIX WARMING CENTERS IN

02:42.766 --> 02:48.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
THE CITY OF CHICAGO.

02:43.566 --> 02:49.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
IN THE DIRECTOR OF EMERGENCY

02:45.766 --> 02:51.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
MANAGEMENT SAYS CHICAGO WILL NOT

02:48.000 --> 02:52.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
TURN ANYONE AWAY.

02:49.800 --> 02:54.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
BUT SO FAR THAT HASN'T BEEN AN

02:51.600 --> 02:56.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
ISSUE BECAUSE THE CENTERS ARE

02:52.866 --> 02:58.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
NOT AT CAPACITY.

02:54.300 --> 03:00.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
ON AVERAGE ABOUT 400 PEOPLE

02:56.800 --> 03:02.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
UTILIZED THEM EACH DAY SINCE

02:58.533 --> 03:04.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
DECEMBER 28TH.

03:00.466 --> 03:06.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
>> TALK ABOUT VULNERABLE

03:02.266 --> 03:07.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
POPULATIONS, SOMETIMES THEY ARE

03:04.966 --> 03:08.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
RELUCTANT TO LEAVE WHAT THEY

03:06.033 --> 03:10.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
KNOW IS COMFORTABLE.

03:07.533 --> 03:12.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
AND GO TO A SHELTER.

03:08.633 --> 03:14.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
THAT IS WHY IF THERE IS A

03:10.266 --> 03:15.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
MESSAGE WE CAN GIVE TO FOLKS, BY

03:12.366 --> 03:17.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ALL MEANS, COME TO THE SHELTERS.

03:14.700 --> 03:18.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
THEY ARE SAFE.

03:15.466 --> 03:19.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
WE WANT YOU TO GO AND GET WARMED

03:17.600 --> 03:21.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:7.5%
UP.

03:18.000 --> 03:22.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK IF YOU

03:19.533 --> 03:23.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
WANT TO LEAVE YOU ARE WELCOME

03:21.333 --> 03:26.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:7.5%
TO.

03:22.100 --> 03:28.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
>> AND ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTOR

03:23.800 --> 03:30.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
THIS COLD SPELL HAS TAKEN THE

LIVES OF THREE CITY RESIDENTS

03:28.533 --> 03:34.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%

03:43.366 --> 03:50.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
ONCE AGAIN, CALL 311 IF YOU ARE

03:47.433 --> 03:52.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
CONCERNED ABOUT AN ELDERLY

03:48.600 --> 03:52.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
NEIGHBOR OR RELATIVE AND WANT TO

MAKE SURE THEY ARE STAYING WARM

03:52.266 --> 03:56.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
AND SAFE.

03:52.833 --> 03:58.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%

THEIR HOMES AND GO OUT INTO THE

WEATHER TO GET TO THEIR JOBS.

03:58.566 --> 04:03.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%

COURSE, BE PREPARED AND KNOW

04:06.866 --> 04:14.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WHEN IT COMES TO THE RAILROADS

04:09.666 --> 04:16.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
IT'S SIMPLE SCIENCE.

04:11.466 --> 04:19.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> WE OPERATE ON METAL TRACKS.

04:14.600 --> 04:21.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THEY GET BRUTAL IN THE COLD WE

04:16.733 --> 04:22.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
HAVE AN INCREASED OF RAIL BREAKS

04:19.200 --> 04:24.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
WHICH WE HAVE HAD HAD SEVERAL

04:21.466 --> 04:26.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
THROUGHOUT THIS COLD-SNAP AND

04:22.766 --> 04:29.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
OTHER ISSUES WITH SIGNALS AND

04:26.433 --> 04:31.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WHAT WE EXPECT DURING THE COLD

WEATHER.

04:29.666 --> 04:35.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
OUR JOB IS TO HAVE THE PEOPLE TO

04:31.933 --> 04:37.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MITIGATE

04:33.733 --> 04:40.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
IT TO FIND THE PROBLEM HOPEFULLY

04:35.800 --> 04:41.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
BEFORE IT DELAYS THE TRAIN.

04:37.600 --> 04:43.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
BUT ALSO, TO HAVE THE PEOPLE IN

04:40.166 --> 04:45.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
PLACE WHICH WE DO OUT ON THE

04:41.833 --> 04:46.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
SYSTEM SO THAT WHEN SOMETHING

04:43.633 --> 04:49.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
GOES WRONG WE CAN ADDRESS IT AS

04:45.633 --> 04:51.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
