Snow, Snow, Go Away

Our feelings about this recent winter progressed like this: we were initially excited about the cold and snow, were merely tolerating it a few months later, and now we are completely sick of winter and want it to GO AWAY. It’s been a pretty snowy time of it these last few months, and with yesterday’s seasonally invasive snowfall, it has officially become Chicago’s seventh snowiest winter season since we started keeping track of these things in 1884.

Our 2007-2008 snowfall tally reached 60.1 inches after last night, the highest measurable tally since the 1978-1979 season, and a huge jump from the average seasonal snowfall tally of 37 inches. There isn't any more snow in the forecast, instead it seems the entire Midwest is in for a whole lot of rain.

So congratulations, winter, you have made your point. We will give you your seventh place ribbon (we hear they make them all the way up to tenth place). Now can you step aside and let some flowers grow?
