Well, spring was nice while it lasted

It's currently 0° and all of the following week is going to be below zero (C), but for most of winter so far it's been quite pleasant. I haven't even had to button my coat for the last three weeks, which is amazing for Chicago early in the year. Typically, the weather after the New Year drops about twenty degrees and stays cold at least through

As nice as it is to be warm, I kind of miss the pre-Global Warming winters of my childhood. 30 years ago there would have been a good two months of sledding and snowball fights.

Chicago at least seems to be one of the places that's just getting more extreme in general. Without El Niño it'd probably be like last year again...which also means no sledding and snowball fights, since no one wants to do that with a thirty below wind chill.
