Looking Ahead to the Winter

Yesterday a meteorologist announced that Chicago's winter this year will be even colder and snowier than last year.  That's got to be pretty awesome considering I was stuck on a bus on Lake Shore Drive for 3 1/2 hours during last year's blizzard.  But the good news about that winter was the one-two punch of excessive snow immediately followed by temperatures 30 below allegedly eliminated much of the squirrel population (seemingly, I'm happy to say, including those that destroyed my garden). 

I hope that my brother in Austin is reading this and relishing his choice of residence.  Personally, I'll take a snowstorm over painfully hot any day.  Cheers to that, Evan.
