I actually did run to the store early this morning with a sweatshirt on...it is official, I am for sure a Chicago girl!!!
Very funny! I've seen it done for Minnesota and Wisconsin too.
I just checked the temp and it is now 1.2 ABOVE 0! woohoo! Heat wave, LOL! :)
Love that. So funny!
-2?!?! When are temps supposed to be more normal again for Chicago?
There's a cold front today... it's 69 degrees and I wore a turtle neck to work.
I live in MIAMI
Stephanie, my love, this IS normal for Chicago!!!
This is hilarious!! Glad you stole it and posted because I needed that laugh you warm blooded freak of nature!!!
I need to move! How was I not born in Chicago?
That is so cute! I'll have to send that to my brother in Minneapolis (of course, he'll 'modify' it for Minneapolis...)
You cheated, you're from Chicago!?
You were right--the answer is snow!
There's no prize, but congratulations. :D

i got this same email and instead of Chicago it was of course Canada. but it's true. we have so much in common.
freezing our asses off together as it were.
stay warm
:-))
me again. i just blogged something about your blog, the kids' choir. it was so great.
hope you don't mind?
i linked to it here.

I wouldn't last a day in Chicago in winter. We think it's cold if it's 50 degrees during the day. Hope you are surviving. Drink lots of hot cocoa!!
Ain't that the troof!!!!!
Also, just want to let everyone know that even though it was so cold I don't even both to count the degrees anymore -- Lake Michigan was STILL making waves against North Avenue Beach.
I drive by everyday and was astounded that the lake could have given a shit about the weather. Pretty much like the rest of us around here...right Christine?!?!?!?
very good. My daughter lives in Chi and never stays in, rain sleet snow ice. Her kids love the snow, her husband wears long undies on the train from Edison Park. I will send this to her.
I'd like to hear more about the Chicago schools, as I'm a teacher in St. Louis.
I wrote a novel about a veteran middle school teacher, and posted the first chapter on my website. It should be published within the next 6 months. I invite you and your readers to check it out. Take care.
