keep nearly 3 million chicagoans off the streets, especially at rush hour. stores were closed. trains empty. the city shuddered to a frozen halt. delays piled up at o'hare, partly because fuel lines are freezing over. 360,000 public schoolkids stayed home but the crossing guards who protect them like rochelle davenport were still required to show up to work. >> it's freezing cold. my face, my toes, everything. pants, even though i'm layered, it don't matter. >> reporter: tens of thousands were without electricity by daylight, so linemen labored in subzero temps to turn the power on. >> i guess if we got a little antarctica or north pole, we got it. >> reporter: with wind chills at nearly 50 below, volunteers reached out to chicago's 15,000 people who have no place of

this is the "cbs overnight news." a new study is sounding the alarm about the potential danger of fruit juices. that's right, fruit juices. consumer reports tested 45 packaged juices and found measurable levels of heavy metals like lead, arsenic and cadmium in every product. long-term exposure could lead to serious health risk like kidney disease and even certain types of cancer. more than 80% of children with kids ages 3 years old and younger give their kids fruit juice. >> heavy metals are substances that make their way into food because they occur naturally in the air, water and soil. they can also wind up in food during the manufacturing and

packaging processes.

inorganic arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury. they found every single product contained a measurable amount of every heavy metal except for mercury. that reached a level "consumer reports" researchers deemed concerning for daily consumption. and "consumer reports" says the metals found in 7 of the 21 samples had the potential to harm children who drink only 1/2 cup per day. the cdc says long-term exposure to heavy metals may put people at risk for kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, damaged ability to learn and certain types of cancer. "consumer reports" is recommending parents lower the amount of juice they give their kids. >> so they should be concerned, but don't panic. frequent exposure to these heavy metals through the juice is the concern. >> reporter: the juice products association, whose board of directors includes executives from pepsico, welch's and other

juices whose products were tested said they haven't seen the study but called the results unfounded and tell us they're committed to providing safe and nutritious products that meet fda standards. they also said there is no scientific evidence that trace evidence of heavy metals have caused -- >> the science is telling us increasingly that there are particular time points in life where even a small amount of exposure can disrupt hormones and thereby contribute to disease. >> reporter: he recommends parents swap the juices for something else. >> my suggestion is that they simply eat an apple, preferably organic, and drink water as a substitute for these juices. >> the "cbs overnight here's a simple true-or-false quiz for you. if you're between age 50 and 85, it's important for you to know the truth, so please listen closely.

roof. you've never seen anything like it. each weighs over 1 million pounds, equal to a 747 airplane. >> this is what drives the wheels to move the roof. >> pretty complex, sophisticated engineering. >> it's very complex. >> reporter: the stadium's security operations center we met peter, he opens the roof with his security and steady hand. if his finger comes off the switch, the roof stops. >> it's a dead man switch. >> it's a dead man switch that senses the heat of your finger, once its presence is in the cradle, it will say, okay, we can start the process of opening and releasing the rail clamps. >> reporter: what happens next is an optical illusion. it looks like a pinwheel or a camera lens opening. slide straight back on two parallel rails. we've sped up the video but start to finish, the roof takes eight minutes to open.

those massive petals end up on exterior desks like this. >> think from fro from end zone to end zone, sideline to sideline, that's how much roof opens. >> it's a landmark building. is it also a legacy building? >> well, i think what will happen inside is the legacy. the building itself is a legacy building and, you know, just think about what's the right thing for the next 20, 30, 40 years. you just don't say no to good ideas. >> sunday's weather forecast looks good. that means the stadium roof will likely be open at game time. now, that doesn't really matter if you if you're one of the millions who will be watching the game right here on cbs. you'll have longtime broadcaster jim nance and former dallas cowboys quarterback tony romo describing the action. dana jacobson sat down with the broadcast team. >> look, you've seen my partner excited these last two years. trust me, i've never seen him as amped up as he is about this

>> you're watching a game with a buddy. >> yeah. >> bryce harper, for people that don't know, major league baseball player confirmed, just called tony romo to see where i'm going to play next year. when you read that next year, tony romo needs to preface everything he says with spoiler alerts. >> once again edelman in the middle of the field. >> pocket sealed. down the middle. edelman again with a third down catch. >> obviously i have a front row seat to how tony's brain operates, okay? and it's a fast, fast brain. beautiful mind is what it is. he sees things so quickly. that is part of the magic. it really speaks to tony spending a lot of time in the film room. >> i can see certain things now in three minutes that would have taken me two hours when i -- to figure out when i was younger. and it's just nothing more than you have a history of form alienations, defensive looks, that coach's background, but you just spend your life studying something and then you hope to make it look simple.
