Crazy Chicago Weather

This is what it is like to live here:

Yesterday, as I mentioned, it was 30C (86F). I was wearing a tank top and capris. You all know how hot it has to be for me to put away my winter jacket. I even started keeping an extra pair of wool socks in my purse...anyway...Since it was so hot, a friend and I went to get ice cream. Ice cream in hand [I got merlot ice cream], we started walking around the neighbourhood. After about TWO BLOCKS a gigantic windstorm hit us, blowing leaves/crap on the sidewalk all around us, and getting in our ice cream. We were BLASTED by cold air so we turned around and went home.

This morning I checked the weather and did a double take - it's 6C (43F) outside right now!!! Sigh.
