LittleHurt05 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 At 6 AM today I saw a dude going for a run outside. Are you crazy? The guy had to get in a fight with his wife or something and the only way to prove he was right was going for that run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Damn I hate winter. More and more every year. Chicago is so great in the summer and so horrible in the winter. I gotta get outta here at some point before I die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 This will be the worst cold in about 5 years. Fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalls2598 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 My dog usually doesn't care about the weather and will want to stay outside, but not today. She went out, did her business, and was ready to come in within 1 minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i'm going to be stuck in the snow/cold weather, at least give me a mountain to look at, not a cement jungle. I love what this city has to offer, but it has the absolute worst weather imaginable. Unbearable in the winter, unbearable in the summer. We get about 4 total weeks of perfect weather out of the entire year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 On Tuesday and Wednesday night, it's going to be anywhere between -40 and -50 wind chill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 I think my biggest pet peeve is the massive drop in temperatures after every measurable snowfall. I hear about a city like Denver where it snows a bunch, then two days later it's in the 50s or 60s. Here you get some snow, you can enjoy it for 24 hours, then it's unbearably cold for the next week, every freaking time. Then it takes two months to melt too.

Dick Allen Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Don't worry, it will warm up Super Bowl Sunday. My co-worker had some Southwest vouchers he couldn't use, so he gave them to me, and I am heading to South Florida Super Bowl Sunday with 3 buddies for 5 days. All we had to pay for our roundtrip flights was $40 in tax. But since I am going, no way it doesn't warm up nicely here. You are all welcome.

Is this a business trip to woo a Mr. Machado? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Actually closing our shop tomorrow, which is rare. Plan on being open Thursday, but the morning temps look just as bad as Wednesday. At least it will get into the negative single digits by the afternoon.

caulfield12 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 You ask how cold is it in Illinois? Answer: It's so cold that even the politicians in Illinois will have their hands in their own pockets. A little climate change humor, non-partisan version.
