"Mostly sunny this morning. Then windy with snow showers this afternoon & burst of snow is expected. High of 33. Winds at 20-30 with gusts of 40 mph. Chance of snow 60%. Snow accumulation of less than 1 inch"

so how do you have a BURST of snow that accumulates less than 1 inch?

-14 here now, looks like that's the high for today. Probably will set an all-time record at O'Hare for the coldest ever high temp for any day, which previously was -11.

Have a shot at hitting the coldest ever temp tomorrow morning, if we get to -27, which it was in January, 1985.

The wind chills were around -50 earlier, which can cause frostbite in 5 minutes.

Blizzard of '78 says hello.

We flew around for days in Hueys with long poles and snow shoes, looking for truckers on freeways buried under the 20-30 foot drifts. When we started evacuating trailer parks on the West side, it was the only time I was given live ammo for my M-16 outside a training exercise in the US. We found one drunken man who refused to evacuate frozen to death in his trailer the next day. There was an old halftrack in the Ohio National Guard unit (16th Engineers) and we took it over to the Ohio Historical Society lot and climbed the snow mountains to slide down the other side. My car was ripped in half by a snow plow.

In other news, it's in the mid-80s and sunny beside my pool in South Africa.
