The record temperature for February 16th is just 14°C (58°F). Officially at O'Hare it's 6.1°C (43°F) and foggy, but the forecast predicts a high of nearly 18°C (64°F)—the normal temperature for April 28th.

I have meetings off and on until 1:45, so Cassie won't get her long walk until then. I can't wait to see whether we've broken the record by then. And hey, if we're going to break a heat record, so much better to do it in February than July!
