Falling ice a risk in Chicago streets and buildings
In Chicago a 4 foot slab narrowly missed Sonny Skinner as ice falls from a tall building. Officials warn pedestrians to dodge ice during the first freeze. A hospital treated six ice related injuries that day while similar hazards are reported in New York and Minneapolis.
