Rant; Winter 2013/14

[33anda3rd]

Snow Monday but it won't stick. Got all the way up to 54 today. It was really nice. Chicago in summer is the best place on the planet. An absolutely lovely place to live.

Yes and ignoring that other thing, Mrs. Lincoln loved the play and found the ambiance of the Ford Theater charming.

Cold and raw today. We still have snow patches in my yard.

It must have moved north:

Today Mostly cloudy, with a high near 35. West wind around 5 mph.
Tonight Snow, mainly between 10pm and 4am. Low around 22. Southwest wind 5 to 15 mph becoming northwest after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.
Tuesday A 20 percent chance of snow showers before 1pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 29. Blustery, with a northwest wind 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
Tuesday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 14. Northwest wind 5 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.
Wednesday Mostly sunny, with a high near 37. South wind 5 to 10 mph increasing to 10 to 15 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph.

I don't think there is any chance that all of the snow will be gone from my yard by opening day. In the back yard, near the end of the yard where there is shade from a fence, the snow runs the complete length of the property line and is probably a half foot deep.

I did cook on the grill last night, but that wasn't all that fun to be honest. Normally I sit out and "monitor" the grill (in other words sit outside and drink beer), last night I was inside until I had to go out and flip the food.

I'm surprised you didn't just haul your Weber into your kitchen.

I could now - took out those annoying CO detectors.

I've been thinking that it's been since sometime last fall (not counting a week in Mexico this January) where I went outside and said "Ah, that warm sun feels good". Rarely I've gone outside and said "Ah, it's not freezing" and even once I remember saying "Ah, it's not cold". I want that warm sun on my neck.
