A wild few days for Winter '08 here in Chicagoland. We started the day yesterday fairly mild for this time of year. I don't typically sit at work and stare at the little weather bug icon on my PC, but I do remember seeing the temperature as high as 50 during the day. In the afternoon, the temp started dropping, and by 6:00 pm, we were down under 10 degrees, the wind was howling, and snow was blowing all over the place and making it very tough to navigate the streets.
I don't mind winter that much. Truthfully, I don't think you can appreciate one season as much without the season before it, and I don't really ever care to live somewhere where the change between the seasons amounts to hot gets hotter. But when you jump from unseasonably warm to bitter cold in the span of an hour or two, that's a bit much to take.
