- Polar Vortex brought extreme temperatures to Chicago along with beautiful icy landscapes. Dangerous temperatures reaching up to -50 F wind chills transformed Chicago river and lake Michigan to solid ice. Arctic Chicago was shot by Dji Mavic 2 Pro on Friday morning with 9F temperatures. Overnight fallen fresh snow covered all ice creating amazing and unique scenery. Chicago did not experienced so low Arctic temperatures in years setting new records in a lot of areas. I was not able to capture steaming lake due to low temperatures and drone safety but nature painted beautiful picture after all.

One of the rare times a city as large as Chicago can look almost completely abandoned. There was this stillness in the air that was beautifully haunting. Wonderful footage! 💙
Yes. Felt like deserted place. Really rare:) Thank you very much for compliments.
Covid: *Allow me to introduce myself*
Not only great shots, but some of the most interesting editing I’ve seen for drone footage. Great syncs, smooth pans, no shots are too long. Nice work!
Thank you very much. I did try to pick an essence of those shots and combine with the music so it would not be boring to viewers. Thanks again for your compliments.
Immigrants arriving 1963 in Chicago. Experienced such cold weather in the 60's. We had no such beautiful drone generated video and no TH-cam. This winter is cold but Chicago has seen worse. Snow above car rooftop. No place to get all the snow fast. City paralized for days if not week.
We are now in Florida enjoy watching this video. Thanks. Excellent quality video.
I belive you had such an harsh experience. Years ago it was different kind of weather. I remember piles of snow and no TH-cam to share it. We had more time to play in that snow:) Thanks for compliments.
Why am I having nostalgia for 2019 holy hell 2020 is pure shit
I hear you. It sucks so far.
wowww just a stunning video !
i wish i can breath some of this fresh air around ! we are suffocating here in Nigeria !
:) Yeah. Polar Vortex was a little to much on the fresh side:) I really froze my fingers out there. Luckily my drone worked fine. Thanks again
THESE ARE SUCH STUNNING SHOTS! I’ve never seen snow in my life lol. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Maybe sometime you will get a chance to see it.
Where do you live?
This is the kind of snow you do not want to see. Polar Vorex! The wind shield factor was -50. IT WAS COLD! But these are beautiful shots!
I watch this at least once a month dreaming of one day moving to Chicago (from California). Great video!
Thanks. Chicago is a great city. Love the architecture and seasons.
Ahh. Someone who realizes California is too flat. Come on in!
I love my city. I can’t wait to move back. I miss 2019.
You and me brother.
Now i want to move to Chicago because of this
It was an interesting experience. Thanks
Your insane.
@@joemartin1253 i know i just want to experience different places in my lifetime
I lived through this. It brought the coldest temperature I've ever experienced, -21F. I agree, temperatures that cold are rare here in Chicago.
I experienced Polar Vortex for the first time. Amazing experience.
I’m pretty sure it was -23 degrees

How come I've not found this channel yet? Its gold!! Subscribed in a jiffy 😍
Thank you very much for compliments.
Great shots and one of my favorite cities to visit. Great Work!
Thank you. Unusual scenery of "almost" deserted city was hard to capture but came out pretty good. Now it is a history I can enjoy sitting on my couch.:)
This should happen more often, I wanna see this more. It is so cold it is beautiful and watching from a far. God totally blessed America.
This was amazing to experience and capture. Like your spirit.
That's not how the homeless felt
Now that's a Chicago winter. Thanks for the video. The first time I heard Polar Vortex was in 2014 when on Monday...maybe Jan 6th, it was a high of minus 12 -without the wind chill. That whole year was a dud since the cold was so intense the summer was weak.
Thank you very much. Yes. There usually is a correlation between cold winter and following summer. I like when it is super cold in Chicago. It is healthier for us in my opinion.
Nice video i live in jamaica and i love watch winter videos
Cool. Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
Beautiful winter.
It is beautiful. I like it. Thanks.
Beauty city and a great job... congratulations from Brazil.. 🇧🇷!
Thank you very much Andre.
These shots are absolutely insane. I am surprised your drown was able to make it in these tough weather conditions! I was outside most part of the day during this day and I could barely stand it. Thanks for the awesome content!
Thanks man for compliments. It was harsh outside. Got some frost bites but drone was working great. No issues to report.
Our great city was still awesomely even cold 🥶 you know that 😎😎👍🏽🎸
Yes. I love it. No matter what the weather is.
The day after tomorrow....
:) Yes
No the day after tomorrow more dangerous thing than this!
Jairul Joe I mean the day after tomorrow more dangerous than this, are you fucking dumb? Haha

I was gonna say the same thing.. lol
Fantastic! So much ice! Wow! Excellently done
Thank you again Vadym. I'm honored to be inspiration for your last track.
You are AMAZING!!!!!! You should be making all Chicago Tour attraction videos, promos, and commercials. Find out where you need to submit this stuff. You are gifted!!!
Thank you for your kind words. Really appreciate it.
Wow! Another wonderful and beautiful video. I love it.
Thank you very much.
amazing footage!!
Thanks a lot!
Just saw this! Very well made video!
Thank you very much
Fabulous video. Appreciate your talent and hard work.
Thank you very much Doris.
Nice editing, very enjoyable. Thanks.
Thank you very much. Really appreciate it.
Amazingly beautiful.
Thank you
Sitting here 4 years later, I’ve remembered how traumatic it was. I felt trapped and that it was a frozen hell. I’m now 13, living in California now makes me want to have the same thrill of living in such a weather shifting environment. Having experienced 2 tornadoes, one of many street flooding thunderstorms, and plus the mosquito bites that last weeks and cause the most severe itches I’ve ever felt. I don’t think I’m going back anytime soon.
:) I comeback to this video very often to remind myself how it was back then. Loved the experience. Thanks for watching.
@@chrisbielathe humor 😊
Amazing footage sir, perfection!
Thank you very much Juan
This was so beautiful ND snow on the ice made the scenery so very beautiful I've never seen nothing like this before since I'm from Oklahoma
I was lucky to capture it. Thank you for compliments.
Among the dozens of videos i´ve seen from the effects of the polar vortex yours was the most amazing and very well done! Thank you for sharing! Usually we don´t have temperatures like this where i live although we are almost 800 kilometres (500 miles) closer to the pole. Greetings from southern germany.
Thank you very much Edgar. Really appreciate your kind words.

Nice work Chris! Love all the shots with the ice breaker path and that final scene from Navy Pier.
Thanks Craig. The last scene is my favorite as well. My intention was to leave the best for the end as a "cherry on top". Really wanted to record more out there but connection loss and lots of interference was affecting my shots.
Spectacular
Thank you
This is amazing. Love visiting Chicago.
Thanks man. Really appreciate it.
I like you, Chris. I have been reading some of your replies and you always are so nice, so polite, so kind and so adorable. I was having dark thoughts today, but reading what you wrote here and there has calmed my heart. Thank you, man, you are an enlightened soul! 😀❤❤
Really appreciate it Matheus. People write to me all kinds of comments. Good and bad. I like constructive critique and everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I do respect that. I try to stay out of inconvenient and sensitive subjects to keep healthy conversations. Thanks again for your nice comment.
The weathwe it brung was harsh but amazing! It brung so many cool things warmer weather couldnt. But it was also bad and dangerous. I live in grand rapids and we had no school for a week and a half. It was soo cold!
To anyone who sees this, HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉🎉
Thanks and Happy New Year to you as well.
@@chrisbiela Yep. Thank you for noticing and new decade ahead of us
@@xenai. Thanks
Someone really had fun while cutting. Nicely done!
As always:) Thank you.
Mecke Duli check out my new two videos I just started more to come
Una ciudad increíble. Simplemente me enamoró. Thank you so much for the vídeo 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much Javier.
I have to say that's really cool (no pun intended). As well as the stunning scenery, the music and editing are perfect.
Thank you Paul. Really appreciate it.
Wow amazing footage, looks very cold nice work my friend 👏👏👀
It was super cold. Thank you.
You Drone check out my new two videos I just started more to come
Astonishing!
Thanks JC.
Our city Pretoria had three and a half years a bit of snow for 2-3 hours. Almost the entire building got evacuated as people went to marvel. For most is was the first time in their lives. It was so little one could barely see something on the ground.
Sounds like fun experience. I know this doesn't happen often in your part of the world. I would be delighted to see it and capture it.
That is really an amazing video! You captured truly awe-inspiring shots. I'm from out near Wilmington and forget we live so close to a truly beautiful city. Thank you for taking the time to go out in the single digits to make this beautiful video.
OH! Thank you very much Kevin. It is my pleasure.
Frosty Fjord Simcity😍😍
Yeah. You are right:)
Beautiful shots. I was waiting to take this kind of shots since the last winter but had to chance my plans on friday due to morning appt with my brother... Nicely done
Haha. Better check your calendar next time.:) Thanks for compliments.
I remember the vortex but hell I don’t remember the lake being frozen like this! Jeez.
I remember once Michigan was frozen in like 80% but that was years ago and it took weeks to happen. This one was quick and very effective though. First time experienced something like that.
Beautiful footage Crystal ❤
Thank you Saleem.
Quite amazing my friend! You made me love chicago even more... Thru all the obstacles we face.. Freezing temps or 100F weather. I still love chicago.. City is home! 🏠💨
Thank you very much. It is home painted beautifully by nature lately. Constantly changing and never disappointing views. Love all the seasons.
So this is what Jussie was walking around in trying to get a Damn Subway Sandwich 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
:) Yep. :)
Nice music..
Thank you Asna.
Beautiful
Thank you Jerome.

Thank you.
This is awesome 💙
Thank you very much
Wonderful
Thank you.
That is why I like cold. Fresh air
...and it is good for our health.
Great work 🖐👍
Thank you very much.
Fantastic !!!!!!!! :-)
Thank you Petr.
@@chrisbiela :-)
Nice shot bro, im from malaysia i just want to ask, in a scale of 10 what is the dangerous rate of this polar vortex? Just want to know, ive never been or felt any winter in my entire life
It is 10. On Wednesday Chicago was colder then Siberia, Antarctica or even Mt. Everest. 6 minutes outside could end up with frost bite. Super cold. Better stay home like most of the people. Thanks for compliments.
7/10
If you don't own the right clothes or the heat isn't working, you need to find help right away.
The extreme cold and quick thaw is ruinous to vehicles and infrastructure. Just the other day, a bridge nearly collapsed when the steel supports failed.
Young children and the elderly are at high risk of frostbite.
But a healthy adult with a good coat can stay outside for hours. No problem.
Because Malaysia is near equator region and the climate is tropical rainforest, Malaysia,Singapore or Indonesia's temperature stays between 20 to 30 degree whole year. Countries above 23.5 degree latitude will face some sort of winter and in Europe which is situated above 30 degree latitude will face severe cold and even sometimes snow :) All these depend on Climate pattern and latitude. But unfortunately for polar vortex it's not normal, it's surely shows imbalance of higher stratosphere and overall wind pattern. :( Climate change is not hoax.
Homeless people in Chicago were dying
It looks pretty cool! Great job on the video!!
Thank you Jennifer.
Great Video 👍🏿 Loved it
Thank you. Really appreciate it.
I remember back in 2019 it the temperatures dropped to -26 below 0 ( note the coldest temperatures Chicago ever experienced was over 30+ years prior to this when it was only a degree colder from 2019. But the wind chills where worse 30+ years ago ) the wind chills back then probably felt like -77 below 0 although I could be wrong so correct me otherwise,
Yes. That was unusual. Great experience though. Thanks.
@@chrisbiela no problem & ahha it definitely was a great experience although the 30+ mph winds that night made it brutal yet. it was fun
Very well put together edit. I love how the transitions follow the direction the camera is travelling at. Very effective. 👍👍
Thank you Martin.
I remember this. We did a boiling water experiment where we tossed it into the air, and it froze immediately.
YOU KNOW IT'S COLD WHEN HOT WATER FREEZES IMMEDIATELY.
You can look it up on my channel. I did a vid from that experiment. Had to try it for myself. 😊 thanks
I live in a tropical country and I cannot stand the cold. I get severe chills even just from airconditioning eventhough the other people in the room are fine. I wonder how long i’ll be able to withstand a city that is as frozen and cold as this.
No one can stand this weather for long time. You have to get indoors. It takes only 6 min. to get frost bites. It would take a long time to get use to the cold. I mean normal 32F (0C) type of cold.
Great video. Really impressive.
Thank you very much Mike.
beautiful
Thanks Kumail.
So weird to see a bustling city like Chicago covered in ice.
:) Even more weird to see Chicago that empty. Always something interesting in Windy City. Thanks:)
🥶😨 it was a very cold one.
Yes. I was.
Nice shot!
Thank you very much.
Incredible!
Thank you very much.
its amazing! Cheers from New Zealand and subscribed
Thank you.
Very cool - pun intended
Thank you
Nice 👍 4K ❤️
Thank you very much.
And here Iam sweating after a day out in Bali. Im not complaining after this video
Haha:) I never complained about it. Love the seasons here and this experience was unique. Always can fly out to warm place though.
Wow...
Thanks
I remember I didn't leave the house this day, news was telling people to not be outside for more than five minutes. I even heard someone passed away🥺
It could be. I stayed home for most of the time but had to experience the cold myself. I do not regret it.
Why does everyone keep thinking they're state is the whole world. My country has been setting high temperature records each year.
Where do you live? Spread the word. Let people know. I live here and capture interesting stuff - in my opinion.
@@chrisbiela in my opinion too. Your work is great. You made Chicago look beautifully haunting to me. Congratulations!
Thanks Matheus.
Definitely the Day after Tomorrow..... it rings true....
:) I see similarities.
Sorry if i asking. What climate weather chicago have?. What i see nowdays the line equator no more.. Is only left for asian... Seriously i don't want snowing in my country.
Weather anomaly's are more and more frequent all over the world and we (humans) are to blame. I do not know how this affects your country but the whole globe weather is changing drastically. Chicago has 4 seasons yearly with longer winter and summer, short spring and fall.
Did a musician produce this? I notice how after every measure (four beats) there's a zoom out/frame change that happens.
No. I have no music background. It would help though, for sure:) It is just editing skills.
The day after tomorrow has started😱😭
For sure.
I’m here watching this in LA and the closest so far is 35F. 🌧
35F is really cold for LA.
PrimoMedia - Chris Biela born & raised in LA and that’s the coldest it’s always gotten. I live in the valley so it gets colder there.
keep safe and warm everyone
Thank you Joe.
Bautiful but, dangerous !! 🌬🌨❄
Agreed and thank you.
So Cold
Yew. It was.
Chiberia ❄️
Exactly:)
My favorite shot must be at 1:13!
Yes. Navy Pier shots are stunning. Love them all.
👍
👍
can't believe my car still turned on during those days lol. Hopefully this polar vortex never happens again
Yeah. I was driving mine as well:)
Nice footage! have this happened before in US or just new? Just wondering. Cheers from Indonesia
This was second coldest day in Chicago history. In 148 years of recording temperatures. The coldest day was in 1983 so we do get cold temperatures but not as cold as this one. It is rare event. Thanks man.
Amazing footage ♥️! It’s kinda weird to me, when everything shuts down because it cold.. we have very cold winters in Finland, but nothing ever shuts down.. but really cold winters is kinda normal for us..
Thank you. I know you are use to it but really arctic weather is maybe in north part of Finland. Right? This was Polar Vortex. Chicago was colder on Wednesday then Siberia, Antarctica or even Mt. Everest. I read an article that on that day on Mars at one point was -14F (-26C) which was warmer then Chicago and I'm sure -25C is common in Finland but -50C it would be rare.
Yup! We got -28C in Finland last year, but with the wind it was about -32C.. but -50 would be rare even in Finland.
:) That is why the city looked deserted.
Looks like a trailer for a game which takes place in frozen north korea :D
:) Never thought of that. Great idea.
bela edição
Thank you
are you from chicago how rare is this it looks like a new ice age has begun
Yes I am. We do get some really cold temperatures in winter but not like this. Last time similar event took place in 1983.
You know , the instantaneousity of this polar vortex just begs the question
WHO OFFENDED ELSA??😂😂😂
We all did:)
This was Noah, the time traveler tells what will going to happened in Midwest!!!
Interesting.
You should've activated the night-vision and hovered to focus on Jussie the night of his non-assault.
Haha:) Thanks
Thinking of the movie 2012. It's real
Looks similar.:)
Nice shot. How did you keep your drone battery alive in sub zero BTW?
Thanks. My batteries were warm and charged in the car and kept in running warm car. All I could do.:)
@@chrisbiela are you old enuff to smok swisher
Why you ask?
@@chrisbiela have a celebration smoke one
Thanks.:)
