Chicago magnifiée par le vortex polaire (En images)

Dans la ville de Chicago, dans l’illinois, les températures sont passées dans des extrêmes de froideur, jusqu’à -30 degrés celsius ressentis. Ce qui donne de magnifiques images du lac Michigan gelé ou des métros aériens recouverts de neige.

Le vortex polaire violent – un couloir d’air froid qui circule normalement en haute altitude dans la région des pôles – qui a frappé ces derniers jours tout le nord des Etats-Unis a donné des allures féériques à la ville de Chicago, où les températures sont allées jusqu’à -30 degrés ressentis.

Cold, but we still got it. #mychicagopix . . . ?: @robear_af

I’ve never seen anything quite like this before. When it gets real cold, like say 25° BELOW zero (-40 with wind chill), weird things happen to water. It ‘smokes’. Water evaporating off the lake was crystallizing. Basically, the steam immediately froze into plumes of microscopic ice crystals Eerily beautiful, and exceptionally cold, I long for a day or two of #Chiberia every winter just for the photo op. @nick_ulivieri for #TakingOverChooseChicago

It’s me again, @nick_ulivieri continuing my takeover. If you hate wind chill, I’d recommend a doors-on winter helicopter tour. If you want a taste of the arctic, by all means, see if they’ll take the doors off. That’s what I did when I went up to capture the long skyscraper shadows reaching out across a frozen Lake Michigan. #TakingOverChooseChicago

Was it incredibly cold when I took this photo? Yes. Was it incredibly beautiful to see the Chicago River frozen over like this? Totally.

The sea smoke rising off of Lake Michigan looked unreal from atop the Hancock Observatory this AM. Love me some #Chiberia. pic.twitter.com/gvlqNza4AM
