Chicago Weather

[TimG]

You guys in Chicago must be enjoying the warm weather, I remember when I was a kid growing up there, it snowed every day in March.

The warmest March on record? How about some pictures of your cars out on the street.

Tim, it's amazing......weird actually. I live just 9 miles west of the Loop downtown and was cruising in my Monte Carlo with the t-tops off all weekend. Drove downtown and saw people on the beaches along Lake Shore Drive. Amazing.

(On a side note, the weather has driven the city to insanity. Weekend totals (Fri-Sun): 49 Shot, 10 dead. I would bet that there wasn't that many people shot and killed in some of the most dangerous countries in the world during the same time this weekend! Not in those totals was a Chicago cop that was shot just yesterday. Bullet caught him right above the vest line in his neck. Add to that a CPD detective just popped two people on the west side early this morning. For those that don't know this about Chicago, the Wild West ain't got $hit on this joint!

All the farmers around here have already started planting! The corn should be &quot;knee high by the 4th of.........&quot; er...May?

I don't envy your dad Frank. He must have his hands full! At least they have the best man to run the department! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Rick, at least he doesn't have to deal directly with that stuff being a commander in the mass transit department. Thank god. He's going to retire in 22 months which will bring him to 38 years on the job! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]

I also saw those shooting statistics, wow. I remember St. Pattys day 1965. I went to a school that always got St. Pattys day as a holiday and it snowed so much we would have had a holiday anyway....we were all so miffed that it didn't happen one day later.
