I dunno what you guys are talking about, Chicago + winter = fun.

Try spending a winter or two in South Dakota. Makes Chicago seem absolutely balmy and windless.

For my money, lake winds in winter are the worst.

Then you haven't spent any time in SD. The wind is constant, and what is termed a gust elsewhere is considered a minor breeze there. Just thinking about it makes me want to put on a coat or three.

Winters growing up in Minnesota were easily worse than any winter I experienced while I was in college in Chicago.

It may not be colder on paper, but there's no wind in fairbanks

Not to mention that Alaska is dry as ghost farts in the winter, and that amounts to just a surface type cold. It may sound unbearable when just considering temperature, but believe me a wet, windy cold is far worse IMO.

In my defense, I was "making fun", not "complaining". Yes, windy city is windy. And snowy and cold. But I also have many fond memories of the area (mostly Evanston).

Cold of any kind sounds really good ATM. Alaskans are not supposed to endure these temps. We melt easily.

Go Northwestern!

I spent a few days in Sioux Falls and you are right. But for an ex Hawaiian/Californian SD or Chicago off season, meaning any month other than October is nasty.

First off, my condolences for being sentenced to a term in SD. That must have been a serious crime. I would not call the weather in Chicago pleasant, hence we will be retiring significantly south of the the windy city.

Stalin had his Gulags, Citicorp had theirs.

As someone who grew up in southern California, this weather in Chicago is pretty cold to me. I thought I was somewhat acclimated to east coast weather when I worked last year in DC, but I guess not.

DC doesn't get cold. Chicago on the other hand, the wind and the wet, ugh.

My sis-in-law went to college at U. of Chicago ("Where fun goes to die.") and then did med school in balmy Buffalo.

Thought about going to school at North Dakota State. Then I figured out that they have real winters...not teasers like the Great Lake States. Not going there was one of the better decisions of m youth.

If there's grass in the field, play ball.

It's too bad that watch is rose.

I love Rose. Bought it. I love you, watch websites.

Are you (Dan) kidding? Rose gold is hawt. (Of course, it helps that I developed a taste for different golds selling jewelry in my youth -- I can still tell the difference between 14k, 18k, and 24K gold by sight.)
