FILE - This Feb. 11, 2014 file photo shows work crews clearing ice off the road as water continues to spew from a broken water main in Detroit.

Sure Chicago, Indianapolis and Philadelphia and Moline are in the midst of their third most extreme winters in more than 60 years, according to a winter extremity index created by a National Weather Service meteorologist.
