Ice reception
This winter is shaping up as the gloomiest in Chicago's weather records. We finally did break our week-long run without sunshine (the sun came out Friday), but the current percentage of possible sun is by far the lowest ever since Dec. 1. Temperatures dipped below zero the past two nights following a wet snowfall last week. Everything here is iced over. The sidewalks that skirt the vacant building and vacant lot on our block are perfect for ice skates and would serve well as hockey rinks. Our alley is basically a 4 x 4 path with deep ruts through a thick layer of permafrost.

Makes me question my yearnings for a northerly migration...
This winter would. It doesn't feel like there is any end in sight. If I was up for more winter outdoor activities it would be good. But I'm finding there just isn't anything one can really do when it is in the single digits. We've spending more time indoors, watching movies, etc. In some ways, though, watching all of the weather come through here has kept things interesting.
