Cold weather raises natural gas prices across Illinois
Cold nationwide weather pushes up gas costs in Illinois and could double home heating bills for many. Lower production adds to the rise, while industry experts say demand from chillier regions is the main driver. Peoples Gas May charge 50.97 cents per therm in February versus 27.97 a year ago. Tips to cut bills include washing in cold water, using drafts, changing filters, and sealing gaps near doors.

Ivo Mender, 80, underwent laparoscopic renal cryoablation at South Suburban Hospital, becoming possibly the first patient in Chicago's southern suburbs to receive this cryosurgery. The procedure used argon gas cooled to 40 below zero to freeze the tumor, sparing healthy tissue and shortening recovery, with doctors noting it as a promising option for external kidney tumors.
