Oddly warm Sunday, 06 January 2008 14:17:52 CST David-Braverman Chicago, Weather (0) Just three days ago, Thursday morning, the temperature in Chicago sank to -18°C, with a wind chill of -23°C. Right now, it's 16°C. Did I mention it's the beginning of January? I'm so happy the U.S. has taken the lead against global warming.
