Numb paean

Winter is back with a vengeance today. It's 6 degrees right now in Uptown, -2 in Freeport, about 120 miles west, and it was -3 at O'Hare this morning. Two hundred miles to the north, in Green Bay, the Packers and Giants kick off tomorrow night with a gametime temperature of 0.

These bitterly cold days in Chicago often are not accompanied by snow and include bright sunshine. There is hardly a dusting on the ground right now. It's 81 and partly sunny today on the pink sand beaches of Governor's Harbour, The Bahamas.
