Freakish crazy weather in Chicago.
Last week it was zero degrees with 20 below wind chills. Today we have rain tornado and flood warnings and temps in the 60s.

4. Same in northern KY wind chill -11 monday
today-high of 75. on a side note-in 1996/96 (I think-somewhere in that area) we moved my sister from Lake Forrest to Argyle on New Years Eve and Day. On New Years eve in Chicago it was 20 degrees and we were bundled up to beat all hell. On New Years Day, it was 70 degrees and we are in t-shirts sweating up a storm.

5. Same here in Iowa.
Yesterday it was 58. It was hard to even enjoy it because after last week's snow, it was a sloppy mess. Today there are flash flood watches and freezing rain warnings across the state.

I was down to the Bear/Packer game last Monday and froze my ass off. The 4 ft. of snow we had up here is melting fast too.

7. Same up here in Maine
Single digits to below zero, then up to 60, then back to single digits following a 2-foot nor'easter with thunder and lightening in some coastal areas. Today it's drizzling, tonight will be all black ice and tomorrow will be in the 50s to maybe 60 inland.

Very, very hard for our bodies to adapt to.

8. Same here in the Pacific Northwest.
Crazy cold, with one snow storm on the heels of another for 2 weeks now.

I'm still snowed in. Ugh. Hopefully only for another day unless my dirt road washes out in the melt. There are two houses on my 1/4 mile road, and they plow the country road, but not my road.

There is rain in the forecast for the next several days so we are facing flooding. The governor has called out the National Guard.

9. I drove to the store this morning and couldn't see 10 feet in front of me
because of the thick fog. I had to slow down it was really scary being on the roads. I live in Chicago too BTW.

10. Wash DC was 65 degrees on Xmas '41. That's why Churchill had the heart attack.
His bedroom in the White House got too hot and he got up to open a window, it was stuck, and he had a heart attack because of the strain.
