A cold weather advisory remained in effect for the Chicago area for much of the day Sunday, with wind chills of -20 to -25 in the Chicago area Sunday morning.  

The advisory expired at noon. But on Sunday afternoon, wind chills still ranged between 0 degrees and -10 in some parts of the area. 

The dangerous cold persisted as the Chicago Bears took on the Cleveland Browns at Soldier Field Sunday afternoon. The warmest it was expected to get during the game was 12 degrees, with wind chills stuck at 0 to -7.

With wind chills so brutal, frostbite could set in in 30 minutes or less. The cold also poses a risk for hypothermia concerns.
