Despite the fact that schools are closed, public transportation is reduced, and many people are working from home due to the extreme cold city officials are forcing crossing guards report for duty outside.
This is JUST WRONG!
It's one of the coldest days in Chicago history and office of Emergency Management told CBS Chicago that the decision was standard procedure and they want crossing guards on duty in case a child doesn't get the message that schools are closed.
Whoever made this decision probably did it in their warm, cozy office.
