I love Chicago weather

it was close to 70 yesterday, i was playing with the kids in the yard in a t-shirt. i woke up this morning to snow on the ground and it has continued snowing on and off all day :rolleyes: . what's that line? "don't like the weather, just wait a minute, it will change"

We say that very same where I live. We also used to say that a lot when I lived in South Dakota.

It's funny 'cause it's true - we say that in Southern Alberta too.

- best wishes, Jazz.

In Colorado today, we hit 65. but it's supposed to rain tonight and snow tomorrow. Our weather is schizophrenic

I'm a couple of hours north of Chicago and this past weekend was exactly as you described.

It's funny, people around here say the Upper Midwest is one of the few places you can experience all four seasons in a single day! :p

We had a crew from northwest Missouri working down here for a couple of weeks that thought they had the strangest weather in the world until they experienced ours. I think the part that really freaked them out was the first day when they walked out of their motel room and it was raining...from a clear sky. Then it clouded up and snowed for a few minutes before warming up into the 60's. The next to last day they were here, I pointed out that the flag was wrapped around the flagpole three times from the wind changing directions.

The largest temperature drop I've seen here was from 106 to 45 in three hours. It snowed the next day. The May Day blizzard was a lot of fun, too.
