Fool's Spring has ended in Chicago

Only five days ago O'Hare hit 17°C after the mean temperature rose steadily for four weeks. Just when we thought spring was a possibility, things shifted. Friday's high temperature was lower than Wednesday's low, and last night it ]bottomed out at -8°C, 25°C (45°F) colder than Wednesday's high.

Since the normal low for February 23rd is -4.3°C, and right now it's only 1.3°C below that, there's no point complaining.

Plus, I don't care what the weather does, because Spring officially starts Sunday. Six months from now we'll be dreaming of a cool autumn. This is why I live in a temperate climate: variety!
