This week has been doozy for weather in Detroit. A massive snowstorm showered the state in several inches of snow on Monday creating a dangerous commute. Hundreds of schools closed due to the inclement weather as polar vortex wind chills dropped temperatures into the negative digits. Fortunately, the weather appears to be lifting finally on Friday, February 1.

Eater has been tracking all the cold weather restaurant and bar closings during Polar Vortex Watch 2019. Many businesses are opting to reopen on Friday, but some are still closed and recovering from building issues like frozen and burst pipes.

Note that this guide is only covering restaurants, bars, and food trucks that are either closed or delayed openings today because of the storm. Know of any other places that are affected by the weather today? Let Eater Detroit know at detroit@eater.com.
