Dangerously cold temperatures returned to the Chicago weather forecast Monday, a day after a winter storm dumped snow totaling over six inches on much of the area.

After hundreds of flight cancellations in Chicago over the weekend and today, there’s a lot of catching up to do.

Among the highlights for winter entertainment are: an exhibition at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry devoted to the award-winning costume designer behind both “Wicked” films, the stage version of “Hamnet” at Chicago Shakespeare Theater and a version of the opera “Madama Butterfly” that’s set in a video game simulation.

Chicago on Friday was on track to see its coldest day in years, with an extreme cold warning to last through 12 p.m. followed by a cold advisory across all of northeastern Illinois and a high of only 0 degrees.

Several Chicago-area, Indiana schools have announced closures tomorrow as a winter storm grip the region.
