Today's Weather: What A Difference A Week Makes

By Jon Graef in News on Jan 12, 2014 4:00PM

Last weekend around this time, Chicago did a bearing down of an entirely different kind, gritting its teeth and preparing for the polar vortex. That particular weather system sent the city into record subzero temperatures, and we all know how fun that was. The weather today, a week later? Pretty as a picture. The high today, according to Skilling Central, will be in the mid-40s, while the low will be 30 degrees or so. So get out there and shake off that cabin fever. You earned it.
