Cold Chicago

Comfort zones go into hibernation every winter in Chicago Only the tough skinned, strong willed, and native-born survive Chicago Long live the reliable snow movers and the great transportation system Doing your best to keep blood flowing to the extremities of your body is wisdom Contrary to many opinions, Chicago is not heartless or cold blooded; just cold Highways, freeways, and toll roads will always help you reach your goal I was out one winter near O’Hare International Airport, and my feet nearly froze. Clearly, I should not have driven a VW Bus that was fun to drive until it caught a Chicago cold. And it's true that Chicago is a windy city by the lake; it’s also icy cold in Winter Go to Chicago, where nothing seemed to halt, and where I got so cold that I could barely talk On short days or long, right or wrong, life goes on; and shoulder to shoulder, people continue to shop on State Street 09052017PS, Acrostic Fall or Winter, Janice Canerdy
