Rant: Spring in Chicago

[mikechamp]

Wind chill of 39 degrees right now.

Almost 3 hours later, and it's 66 degrees down here.

When are you moving south again?

[jim]

I can't for financial reasons. Probably 10+ years away realistically.

Tomorrow in the 80's, I'm thinking about wearing shorts for the first time to work. We are getting there. Went out at lunch today to just sit in the sun, unfortunately it's pretty windy and I didn't have a warm enough jacket. Tomorrow for sure.

BTW - high temperature for Waukegan tomorrow: 49. 50's in downtown Chicago, 80 in the burbs. That's what they call "Cooler by the lake".

It sucks to by the lake.

We had two decent days in April. I haven't the sun in ... what a week?

Wind chill of 39 degrees right now.

....And I ain't seen the sun shine
since, I don't know when.
I'm stuck in West Chicago,
this crap keeps draggin on.
And those planes keep a flyin
on down to Boca Raton

Well we got into the 80's today - or as the rest of the world calls it the 60's. It's not bad out, but I'm glad I decided not to wear shorts today. Tomorrow. Always tomorrow.

I want to bash Tom Skilling's head in right now. Mother [expletive] said 80.

...bet its warm in Saint Louis, and folks are warshin up their cars
They're out workin on their tan lines while smoking big cigars
While here I freeze my ass off, I know I can't be free
It's god damn Eighty in Saint Louis
And that's what tortures me

[jim]

It's here. Absolutely beautiful today.

That's stupid.

Because of the [expletive] winter we now are having what they are calling a Polen vortex. Highest polen readings in 20 years. Fortunately polen only affects the weak, so I do not notice this.
