The Chicago area has gotten a bit of a reprieve from snow lately, but that’s going to change with multiple chances of accumulating snow in coming days.

Snow and ice will impact dozens of states from Texas through the Northeast this week, forecasters warned.

Typical January conditions will dominate the first half of the week, but extreme cold and the potential for a disruptive winter storm loom on the horizon.

The Chicago area will be dealing with extreme cold this week, but a loud and frightening phenomenon known as “icequakes” could also occur.

Chicago will see its warmest stretch of the winter late this week before cooler, seasonable air settles back in for the weekend.
