Goal: In the winter put snowballs in my freezer for the summer. Done! This is so much fun, everyone in Chicago should do this while we still have the last of our snow left. It’s really cool to be kneeling…

We in Chicago just had 22 consecutive days below 32 degrees. That’s the longest streak in 23 years. 1984-85 had a string of 33 below freezing days (whoa, 33 days). You’d think this was one of the coldest 3-week periods…

It’s summertime and temperatures in Chicago are getting around 100 degrees. It would be so much fun to have a snowball to throw at someone right now. So next winter, I want to pack like six snowballs and keep them…

I want to create tickets for whenever people complain about how cold it is outside. It’s Chicago, people. Deal with it. They would look very official Yet they would also be very humorous (so not to offend people at work)…

The weather in chicago this year has been pretty flat. Warm winter, cool spring. Is it the stability of being in a palendromic year.

I love 57 degrees. It’s the perfect weather. You can wear a jacket You don’t have to wear a jacket It’s cool Crisp Don’t sweat Have the windows open
