Am I the only one who noticed that the global warming debate in CLC ended when
a big cold
front hit the central US? :-)

When I was growing up in the Chicago area, I remember one UNUSUAL day that had a
"real" (not wind-chill) temperature of -20(F). I also remember when we would
have multiple days in a row when the temperature never got above zero.

I do NOT think I have seen either of those "extremes" in the Chicago area in the
last decade or so - even if we did get below 0 in some suburbs last night.

In the last week, daily lows have been at or below the all time record on four out of
seven days. Below are Chicago temperatures for the last week. Subtract 2-5 degrees for
suburbs, where you live. For example, in Palatine it was -7 on 1/20 and -5 yesterday and
today.

L H Record low
1/19 -2 6 -2
1/20 -4 10 -4
1/21 10 28 -2
1/22 10 30 3
1/23 7 16 -2
1/24 -2 10 0
1/25 -2 1
