So today is supposed to be the start of spring. We've had sunshine, that's for sure. But the temperature took a nosedive the last couple of days, and the wind started screaming out of the west, and it feels like spring is really a long way off. It puts me in mind of one of my favorite jokes about Midwestern weather. The late comedian Richard Jeni once said 'I think that's how Chicago got started. A bunch of people in New York said 'Gee, I'm enjoying the crime and the poverty, but it just isn't cold enough. Let's go west'.
Sounds about right.
