It's winter? Really?

This is a typical look at Chicago in January. Snow covered, grey, dreary and if you were on that sidewalk you would be enduring about a 28º day with a windchill factor down to about 12º. Needless to say, we have not even come close to this yet...and it's January 8th. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. But a white Christmas would have been nice (even though I was in Florida). Point being...for the love of Al Gore!!! What the 'f' is going on?!?!?

Of course, sooner or later we'll be getting dumped on by the Snow Fairy, but until then I'll just to have shrug and think it's only about 40 days until Spring Training.
