We mark Day 322 in Chicago's record for consecutive days without an inch of recorded snow by asking you to head outside for a bit. (We'll wait.) Are you back? That warmth that kissed your cheeks is about to flirt with another record today. According to Skilling Central Chicago is going to flirt with 60 degrees today and have a good shot of breaking a 133-year-old high temperature record. If the high winds from the south have some say in this, we will break it. Hell, we're close to it right now with a temperature reading of 54 degrees. Bicyclists may only need a base layer today.
