recontramilguajéi Sweet Home Buenos Aires...! Although I don´t exactly miss Sweet Home Chicago weather; check it out:

Wind Chill Advisory Issued by the National Weather Service at 10:15 am CST on February 3, 2007 --
Wind Chill Advisory now in effect until 9 am CST Tuesday. Frigid temperatures falling through the single digits this afternoon will combine with gusty west winds of 20 to 35 mph to produce dangerously cold wind chill readings around 20 below zero.
Air temperatures will drop below zero after sunset this evening with wind chills falling to 20 to 25 below overnight. Daytime air temperatures over the next few days will only recover to above zero values while winds diminish to 10 to 15 mph. However continued subzero nighttime lows combined with even these lighter winds will return overnight wind chills to 25 to 30 below north of Interstate 80 and to 20 to 25 below south of there. A slight warm up will begin on Tuesday allowing wind chills to finally rise above 20 below zero. However nighttime
lows are still forecast in the single digits through Friday.

A Wind Chill Advisory means that very cold air and strong winds will combine to generate wind chills at or less than 20 below zero. This will result in frost bite and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken. If you must venture outdoors dress in layers and cover all skin. Make sure you wear a hat and gloves. Limit outdoor activity to minimize exposure as frostbite can occur in 30 minutes or less.
Pets are also susceptible to the extreme cold as much as you are. Keep pets indoors as much as possible. If this is not possible make sure outdoor pets have warm dry shelter. Provide sufficient food and fresh unfrozen water.
Check on elderly family members and neighbors. If you need assistance in the city of Chicago... call 311.
