I am officially breaking up with Winter. This morning at 6:10 am it is -22 in the n.w. suburbs of Chicago. Wind chill -45. Just about every school district in the Chicago area going down as far south as Kankakee is closed today and tomorrow. Many businesses in the Chicago area are closed today. I will be working from home today; so glad I have that option. So far my furnace is working, and I have all faucets in my home running on a trickle to avoid frozen pipes.

Fortunately the temps. on Saturday, Sunday and Monday are supposed to be in the 30's and 40's. I hope the weather forecasters are not kidding about the warmup.

I am predicting a baby boom for the end of October in the Chicago area.
