Good Afternoon Mike, is anything better than Chicago in the Summer?! I know the draft is boring, however, kudos to Chicago for creating an amazing family friendly atmosphere.

Quick story: So each of the last few summers I'm in Chicago for a weekend or a few days and I get a text from Charles Wade Barkley and it always says the same thing: "You here?" and I know exactly what he's talking about. It's a sunny perfect day in the 80s and Charles just hops on a plane and flies to Chicago to hang out...The first time this happened, I asked Chuck, "What are you doing here?" and he said, "Chicago is the greatest summertime city in America!" And millions of us agree...Winter is awful and lasts forever and we don't have spring, but I'm even looking forward to going to Chicago this weekend for the Friday/Sunday Bulls-Cavs games AND the Blackhawks Game 5 (I presume there will be one) Saturday against Minnesota...
So the best thing about Chicago in the summertime is being in the United Center? Gotcha.

I remember when I was a senior in HS we went to NY State HS Track Championship near Syracuse. It was the first or second week of June.

It snowed on our way and then warmed up for a windy, pelting rain in the 40's all day long. Of course we were outside the whole time. One of the coldest days of my life.

Try living an hour north of that, right on Lake Ontario. We average roughly double what Syracuse gets each year in terms of snowfall.

Yeah it was snowing like a mother [expletive] here this morning when I was at the gym.

I posted in another thread but last Saturday it snowed so hard and was blowing so bad it was almost white out conditions on the interstates. And then 10 minutes later - sunshine. Followed by another band of blizzard like snow.

79 with a breeze, here in lovely Sarasota, FL. Beach is probably pretty crowded this weekend, what with the low 80's forecast. I'll probably head over there for a sunset cigar though.
