Had to go to the bank today…
Jan
19
… and this is how I dressed.

Why? Well, today the average temperature is going to hover at around 4 degrees with a wind chill of -15. It might even dip down quite a bit into the evening.
Yes, Chicago can be brutal in the winter. Here is a screenshot I took before I left for the bank.

I discovered frozen tears on both sides of my face while peeling everything off after getting home.
Ouch.

Ouch is right Eric! I am sure there are many roasty toasty pubs to hang out in but that is like Amsterdam cold when the canals froze over!

Heh… dude, it was BRUTAL!!!
I’ve never in my life felt cold like I felt today. I had two pairs of pants, two pairs of socks, THREE long sleeve shirts, a hoodie a long winter coat, two pairs of gloves, a thick beanie and a wool scarf wrapped around my head and face.
I STILL FROZE!!!
