Agreed. I'm just over the other side of Lake Ontario from you (Rochester, NY) and we're on the side of the lake that gets all that snow-and obligatory salt. But the days are getting longer....

Chicago Forecast:

Monday

High 22
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Low 2 Mostly cloudy and colder; some light snow or flurries at times. Snow accumulating to 1 or 2 inches. Readings steady or slowly falling from the lower 20s. Blustery northwest winds 15-25 m.p.h. with higher gusts. Clearing overnight with single-digit lows in the city and subzero lows inland.

Tuesday

High 17
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Low -4 Mostly sunny but very cold. Highs 20 degrees below normal. Brisk northwest winds bring lake-effect snow to northwest Indiana. Subzero lows overnight.

Wednesday

High 16
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Low 1 Another very cold day despite sunshine. Northwest winds 10-20 m.p.h. Indiana lake snow continues. Clear for total lunar eclipse 7:43-11:09 p.m.

Looking forward to spring, sometime soon...at least the days are noticeably longer. This has been one of the hardest winters, especially snow-wise, in decades for Chicago.
