Man, we're really seeing the effects of global warming this year with these abnormal temperatures smacking us in the face every morning we leave our homes. There has been one thing on everyone's mind if anything; when will this miserable weather stop?? This has been among one of the most harsh winters for the middle east United States with many records being set for these cold days and snow days. The average temperature between December and February was 8.2 degrees less than it usually is, striking the fourth coldest winter on Illinois record. It was also one of the years with the most snowfall. Jaw-dropping measurements have been recorded across the state, including a total of 79.8 inches of precipitation in the Lincolnwood and Oak Park area.
Now, we are nearing the end of the first week of March, we still have most of the snow that has been left for us since mid-February. Every time I think to myself , "Surely that's the last of it," mother nature surprises us with yet another three inches here, three inches there. Today, it got up to about 45 degrees, only to trick us into thinking spring is finally coming, because tomorrow, more snow is on it's way. With a couple feet still in the ground in some places, most people are looking forward to spring break more than ever, except if your the genius that planned a family ski trip to Colorado during one of Illinois' coldest winter.
