Last night I over heard a conversation between two people who have lived here in Chicago for quite some time. It was mentioned that December is usually a “tame” month, with the more serious winter weather kicking in around late January. But this hasn’t been the case in 2007.

I moved to Chicago on November 1st, meaning I’ve been here for six weeks. In the six weeks I’ve been here, I’ve endured six snow storms, two ice storms, and temperatures that likes to stay well below freezing.

What happened?

Ironically, while walking down Michigan Avenue in a snow storm last week I encountered several individuals gathering donations for an organization that is fighting “climate change”. Hello!!! We’re in a freakin’ blizzard here!
