This is a fascinating satellite view from a few days ago. Interesting how the water within Chicago's breakwater system has froze, but not the open water beyond it.

Daily Overview

Icy waters of Lake Michigan surround snow-covered Chicago, following a cold snap that swept across much of northern USA this week. The “Windy City” had wind chills as low as -20° Fahrenheit, and high temps during the week never rose above 5° for the first time in nearly 30 years.
