Cold Wave Hurts Hardest as Coal Runs Low
The Chicago weather report cites a zero degree morning with plans for slight relief soon. Fatalities and widespread destitution follow the bitter cold, while coal shortages push prices and access out of reach for many, especially the poor, amid rail and street transit delays. Reports from Wisconsin Michigan and nearby states describe subzero temps, heavy snow, and stranded travelers. Local fires and accidents compound the hardship as communities struggle to cope with fuel scarcity.
