Wow, Chicago has seen weather above 30 maybe for a total of a week this winter. We've had lots of 20s, teens, and a few single digit weeks. We also had that one week where it was like -45 degrees with the windchill.

The only people who have it worse than the midwest are Canada and maybe New York.

But seriously, bring on the global warming. It's 19 degrees and we have had lake effect snow for the past 36 hours. I'm ready for some 60s.

If anyone is interested, and has no aversion to foul language, the fucking weather

WOW! It was gorgeous out today!

And it's 4:40am...I just finished writing a 9-page paper for my Psychology class, and I have the windows all cracked and my fan blowing, and there is fresh air outside and it smells like spring!

It is a slice of heaven compared to what we have been having. Right now it is in the mid-50s. I guess tonight we are supposed to get thunderstorms and drop back into the 30s. =/

But it looks like it is supposed to warm up again, and more thunderstorms!

I LOVEEEEEEEEE THUNDERSTORMS.

I also love jogging in the city. I jog through downtown Chicago a lot, and I have the whole Chicago lakefront at my disposal...I'm about a mile (at most) from the lake, so I can jog down to the lakefront and run it.

I can only run outside in warm weather though because of my breathing. I'm psyched for warm weather.

Anyway.......

Freshman year I jogged through downtown Chicago during a huge lightning/thunder storm, and hearing the thunder echo through the city was crazy awesome. I'm on the south west corner of Chicago looking towards the city, so I have a pretty nice view of the city (and if I get about 10 stories up a view of the south lake front).

The thunder in the city does sound cool. I should try that sometime.

I'm so glad it finally got warm these last two days. It seems like we've been stuck below freezing for months.
