Chicago's new name this winter has been changed to Chiberia.
For the winter of 2013-2014 Chicago has had it's third coldest winter and fourth snowiest winter since records have been kept. As I type this post, the temp. in Chicago is 12 degrees on March 2; Chicago's average high temp. on March 2 is supposed to be 41 degrees. At least the sun is out now, and the five inches of snow from last night has been removed from my sidewalk and driveway by the homeowner's association snow plowing service. Chicago had had 73 inches of snow since Dec. 1. Chicago's average snowfall in the winter is 37 inches, so we have had almost twice our normal snowfall.

I have been watching the Honda Classic on the Golf Channel the past few days just to see green grass and people not bundled up like Eskimos. At least I haven't fallen on my butt yet this winter.

Thank you for listening to my pity party.
