Description
This has been one of the hottest summers in recent memory. Thus far this year we've had 33 non-consecutive days where the temperature hit 90 degrees Fahrenheit or above. When the mercury soared to 100 today, it was the 5th of those 33 days above the century mark. And there's still almost two months left of summer. Needless to say, I'll be happy when autumn gets here. Or better yet, winter.
Seeing as how it's still 95 degrees in Chicago at 9 o'clock in the evening, I'll take all the winter I can get. To that end I've been going through my photo files to find the coldest pictures possible. This is one of them. In this shot we see the mostly frozen North Branch the Chicago River (looking south toward the Kimball Avenue Bridge), a few days after the February 2011 blizzard that dumped 20 inches of snow on the city. Hmmmmmmm. Sounds lovely.
Once again a heartfelt thank you to everyone who is kind enough to view and comment on my gallery.

The world's funky weather is caused by the Icelandic eruptions, 2 years in a row. Remember? Air travel to/from Europe was interrupted for 6 days. Cubic kilometers of particulate matter were spewed into the Earth's atmosphere. Past eruptions' studies have shown that it takes years for the particulates to settle back to ground. They cause droughts, freezing and unusual precipitation. And we, the humans, are ever on the receiving end. Good pic.

Very cooling, Corey! I don't like any extremes in weather, moderation in all is best. Too hot at 75 for me.

As I am without air conditioning and it's too hot to actually sleep without constantly waking up to swear up a storm, I've decided to check here and see what's up and...well...I saw this! WOW! Snow. I like that stuff...but like Andrea, I prefer the middle road. Extremes are not worthy of the stress they put a person through. I remember everyone luxuriating in the abnormally warm winter, and well...I was on pins and needles, wondering if the warming trend was going to continue through summer. And...lo and behold...the warming trend continued. NOW, if this means that we'll have a moderate winter, I'm okay with that...but weather like this is like jet lag, going in one direction it's bad enough, but going in the opposite direction, it's hell on a Monday. (I learned that from Prague...going from west to east isn't nearly as bad as going from east to west. UGH! I guess it's the same for the weather: going from a warm winter to a HOT summer is nowhere near as bad as going from a hot summer to a mild winter. Unfortunately, Chicago is too chaotic for us to have a mild winter next winter.) This is a great shot and I love the light and the richness of the details. This rocks.

A wonderful winter's shot to cool everyone down. Even we are having quite a warm day here even though it is winter. I am waiting impatiently for spring. I like how the snow has made patterns on the water and ice.

This is a most excellent scene! I won't tell you how hot it was here today ... it wouldn't do you a bit of good ... but it was too hot for my taste! Your snow makes me feel better already. :)
