Winter Returns

This is what it is supposed to look like in Chicagoland in February. Though the mild weather was nice while it lasted, it was quite unusual not to have to wear a heavy coat in mid-winter. When I was a child, February was a freezing month with snowfalls that buried cars and caused schools to close. It seems our winters are getting milder and milder with each passing year and should be a warning to us that global warming is indeed a reality.
