Minus 20-something outside; basement little better. Wore street clothes for the workout, with heavy jacket. And could only take 20 minutes down there. Maybe will go back this afternoon. But thanks to Polar Vortex whipping arctic air down on us, will only be COLDER by then!

C • put in some insulation? 2

5" on the ground at 8am, and more falling quickly. Sweating profusely by the time I came inside after an hour.

Warming trend; already 31degrees and freezing rain predicted to follow snow. What a mess. Global Warming ain't no picnic! Chicago never used to see freezing rain 30+ years ago...just cold, dry snow. Now our climate is more like St Louis' used to be. What's next?

Sari makes Swedish Pancakes for Sunday morning after shoveling. Nice sunny breakfast on the 36th floor, overlooking a partly-frozen Lake Michigan.

Extra long piece. Honoring Soupbone, who is skiing a race on the south shores of Lake Superior this morning at -25 degrees, probably. So cold! So slow! At least I was in a heated basement, wearing shorts and tee shirts. Woo woo!

-2 degrees at 5am. Outside and into the basement wearing shorts and tee shirts....WeeWeeWee!
