Today's Weather: Brisk

Brisk is an understatement. We've got a fresh coupla inches of snow on the ground at the Chicagoist office with some flurries still piling a bit more on top of that. The snow will taper off as the afternoon wears and while temps will be in the low-to-mid 30s - much warmer than yesterday - it's going to be windy, bringing down the wind chills. Clouds will break later this afternoon and temps will plummet to single digits under partly cloudy skies tonight. If it feels colder than usual for December, that's because it is: Skilling Says, "Though cold air is no stranger here this time of year, only 25 years of the past 139 have seen readings as cold as in recent days so early in the season."
