No one alluded to that.

The focus was on cloudiness/dreariness specifically, since someone mentioned that people seem to complain about Chicago being cloudy/dreary.

The difference between 35 and 28 is pretty significant.

Although in general. Every single Northern City is treated like Fargo ND. And most Southern cities people act like are Miami, Florida.

Like Nashville has a winter and Chicago is not a tundra for 5 months

Posting this again to drill in the notion that arctic blasts are not unusual for Chicago (makes sense, not much geographic obstruction in the way from northern Canada to Chicago, and there's no modulating body of ocean):


Weather in Chicago for the next 10 days

Yeah it's partly sunny. It's also 5 degrees out with 20mph gusts.

I told you, it's a cold snap. Usually one (or two) a winter. Please look at the average comparisons...unless you just don't want to see the similarities...it's called....denial.

Was that one month? LOL, really? How much more would one want to do outside, at 35, rather than 28?? Sweater, vs. heavy jacket....I don't think so. Any way you look at it, 35 is three degrees above freezing, and 28 is four below. I say, they're both cold.

Would you say Boston and DC have similar winters? Because DC is 8 degrees warmer in January than Boston (granted Logan is pretty warm)

Atlanta in July is 5 degrees warmer than New York. Are those similar summers?

Don't bait me. If you don't think 5 degrees feels similar, one way or the other, that's not my problem. I can't tell much difference between 70 and 75, 75 and 80. This is getting a little silly.
