Can you believe it?

It's the middle of January and right now, about 8:00 pm...it's about 50 degrees.

We are now under a severe Thunderstorm watch! This morning we woke up to thunderclaps, last week we had a few inches of snow, and tomorrow...we are going to artic temps.

Something just ain't right, I tell you.

Joe --

LOL. It wouldn't be Chicago if it were any other way. In late January of 1967 the temperature was in the high 60's for a couple of days. That's when the original McCormick Place burned down. Some were blaming the smoke for precipitating the humongous storm that followed which buried us in over 30 inches of snow. And I had to try to make my way through traffic to a get to a shopping mall to find a present for my mother's birthday the next day. That was an experience.
