A few tidbits about this past winter...

Chicago and Rockford Winter 2011-2012

Note how 2011-2012 is tied for 6th place with 1931-1932 with 50 40 degree days.  EVERY winter above this winter on this list is from the 1800s!  Of the ten winters listed on that "Chicago: 40 Degree Days" graphic, only THREE have occurred within the past 65 years.   B)

I know the "official" recording station (currently at O'Hare Airport) has been moved at least once in the past century, but that's no excuse.  Let's face facts here: winters like this past one (without prolonged Arctic cold) are nothing new!

I actually saw that on the local weather report today! At the time it was only 6 degrees cooler than Tampa!  :o

At one time this week, Chicago was something like 25 degrees warmer than Phoenix! 

This streak of nine consecutive 80+ degree March days ends tomorrow.

Our cherry tree is in peak bloom right now.  That usually doesn't happen until the middle of April.

Funnel cloud spotted in Watseka, IL (100 miles S of Chicago).

No word yet on if there was any damage.
