Cut it Out, Weather!

If we believed any of the movies we've seen about the end of the world — and there've been a couple — we'd be hiding in a bunker right now. First, we have a brown Christmas, while Denver and Oklahoma yuck it up. Then, just as the retail outlets get ready to bring out their spring lines, we have "the longest sub-freezing spell in 3" effing "years"? This is dumb.

We're writing on day nine of the cold spell, so we hope you brought all your best weather apparel, Gortex and whathaveyou. One thing the sassy Indian lady at the store downstairs pointed out that made us feel better, though, is that she'd rather have it dreadfully cold with no snow than walking through the city with slightly warmer temperatures but heaps of winter precipitation. There have only been 7 inches of snow at Midway so far this season, which is the lowest amount on record since 1928. We didn't even realize it, but we agree with her wholeheartedly.

So bring on the dry, horrifyingly cold days, weather. We've decided to stick it out.
