Tom Skilling's 7-day forecast
Monday
Very cold with occasional flurries. Near-record low maximums in the upper 30s. Freezing temperatures in the upper 20s to start the day. Partly sunny but still unseasonably cold with highs in the mid 40s.

This is from last year, just before finals week (and before I was posting on citynoise, so I wasn't concerned with composition and so on here so much as documentation, but whatever)... I decided to post it now because the colder weather was reminding me of the Really colder weather and because I live alone now and miss my roommates (the people in the pictures).

Thanks for the images. Good stuff.

My affection for Chicago is put on hold between October and April.

I was transferred to Chicago back in 97 for two months. Beautiful city - but the weather was FREAKISH. You could truely experience 4 seasons in one day. If not for the weather I would have moved there in a heartbeat.
