25. Meanwhile Here In The Midwest...

Sat Jan 12, 2013, 04:14 AM

Jan 2013

...it's currently 51 degrees in the Chicago area...our overnight temp is 20 degrees above the normal daily high for this date. We haven't had a snowfall of more than an inch in over 330 days (a record that stood for 70 years). Yesterday I saw some dudes out golfing...and I swear the tree next door is starting to bud. They predict the temps will drop back into the 30s tomorrow but that's still a far cry from the sub-zero temps that have rolled through here at this time of year. It's been a strange winter all over...keep warm out west.
