CHICAGO — Commuters facing bitter cold temperatures were also met with major CTA "L" and Metra delays Monday morning.

The CTA's Purple Line was suspended due to "inclement weather" shortly after 5 a.m., though the transit system said was back up and running with delays just before 7 a.m.

The CTA warned commuters that all "L" lines except the Pink Line were running with delays Monday morning due to the weather conditions. The Green Line was restored to normal conditions as of about 8:30 a.m., according to the CTA.
