We hit 80 yesterday. I was out much of the day, I had been getting the garden ready all week and ended up planting all of my spring stuff yesterday - lettuce, spinnach, peas, onions, and carrots. Took some time off mid afternoon to watch some of the game. Today rain in the area, but it's not raining now and it's not bad outside - my little temperature gizmo says it's 68 outside right now which is in what I call a reasonable and livable temperature range (65-85 is my preferred range).

The CHICAGO river. I love how the rest of the state pays for it, but Chicago names it....figures!

It's sticking. It's snowing like a mother, the wind is howling, and it's sticking. Two nice days, and then this slap.

Biggest late season snow in 30 years - 1.2" of snow.

I too hate this world.
