MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A handful of drivers on Milwaukee's east side have their cars stuck in ice Monday, Jan. 19. 

The vehicles near the intersection of Stowell Avenue and Belleview Place are unable to move, stuck in inches of ice as the temperatures dropped Monday morning below-zero in most locations for the coldest temperatures since the middle of December.

Milwaukee Water Works says the issue is related to a leak on a service pipe that leads into a building. 

Overnight, their crews applied a calcium chloride to help melt the ice encasing the tires. 

Water Works officials say they're contacting vehicle owners to help assist and see if the cars can be moved to start repair work. However, the situation is a catch-22 as crews need to cars to move in order to begin the work.

But as we experience feels-like temperatures of -30, it doesn't seem the ice will melt soon enough for the drivers to be able to get out.
