Lucky you, it's -15 here. My shock was when I went from a delightful 35 in ICN, to 60 in LAS for my transfer and then coming into MSP with -15.

All I remember about Chicago was:

- It was damn cold in the winter
- Spring lasted one day (I think), but mud season lasted way longer
- summer was blazing hot... that year August had no days that were below 100 degrees F.
- It was really stinky along the highway drive along the highway towards Evanston (where I did a rotation)
- I got Dove bars for breakfast
I'll make my MSP weather summary brief:
3 months of summer, 9 months of disappointment.

It took 4 friggin years beofre they finally finished a 6 mile stretch of interstate here. WI would've had it done in ~4-5 months.
