Today's Weather: Not Dead Yet

By Chuck Sudo in News on Mar 5, 2011 2:00PM

Yesterday, despite the cloudiness and rain late, the weather had some pimp in its strut. Today, it's dragging like someone who started a post-work bender downtown and ended up closing down Carol's Pub and forgot to grab a bite to eat before heading home. Chicago Weather Center says today's predicted high of 36 degrees is five degrees below normal levels for this time of year. Winds will be gusting up to 30-35 MPH at times, with some freezing rain or hail early turning to light snow.. If you can do some housecleaning today, it's the perfect time for it.
