Rant: Spring in Chicago

[jim]

It completely covered the grass, you could see no grass at all when I left this morning. It felt like January, that wind hit you in the face and the snow on the ground and it was really nasty.

We have had two reasonable days in Chicago, and no more in sight for at least a week.

By the time you get consistent nice weather, it's going to be fall again.

I have nightmares about that.

50s 50s and more 50s. Until July.

God damn I hate this place.

Was up in Madison WI last week. Grass is getting green, but lots of brown around. Trees look dead.

Everything is green here. Can't keep grass from growing.

The trees are just showing hints of green. My lettuce, spinach, peas, and onions are just poking up and they have been in the ground 2 weeks.

We had two decent days in April. I haven't the sun in ... what a week? It's been upper 40's/low 50's, rain, drizzle, just yuck. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and low 60's, and then back into the chilly damp stuff before finally late next week we will hit the 70's.

If you ever wanted to know why people from Chicago are so fat and ugly and wear alot of black, I blame it on the weather. You just stare at the grey and cold and wolf down Italian Sausages to placate yourself.

Wind chill of 39 degrees right now.
