Ready or not, the Windy City White House is here. And, appropriately, the weather here in D.C. is positively Chicagoesque with highs expected to be in the upper 20's and wind chills in the teens. But what of the city Obama has just left? Well, Chicago even managed to out-Chicago D.C. Highs will eek just past 20 and there's a 50 percent chance of snow throughout the day. Brisk winds will keep wind chill values around 1. Clouds will part by the evening (all Obama's doing, we're sure) and temps will sink to the mid-teens. The next several days will be seasonal and snow-free. And if this winter has seemed colder than usual, that's because it has been colder than usual.
