Snow way

I've lived in Chicago since 1993, so I've seen the weather here in all of its glory. Cold was always the primary winter manifestation over massive snow, at least in the city. Obviously, we've had some big snows over the years, but they're generally atypical.

As global warming has continued/intensified, however, the classic Chicago winter has changed to the extent that actually getting a snowfall is almost a novelty at this point.

So, I take some wintery delight in seeing some flurries fall, even as it's laced with sorrow and pathos that such things are clearly going away as the planet heats up. I read somewhere that eventually, Chicago's climate will be more like Cincinnati's, which is bad across the board, since I lived in that area for a time--I'd rather have nice flurries and bitter cold than freezing rain and tornadoes! But that's just me...
