The bank themometer reading on our 1st anniversary -- also the hottest day of the year for Chicago.
Since moving to the "windy city," Wes and I have changed our weather terminology. If you ever want to converse with us about how hot or cold or windy it is where you're living, just keep this in mind:
- "It's warm outside" means it's above freezing. Even right at 32 with no wind could be considered a "warm" day.
- "It's really cold outside" means there's a real temperature at or below 5 degrees or a wind chill in the negatives.
- "It's hot outside" means it's at 80 degrees or warmer with some humidity. Chicago doesn't have a lot of "hot" days. Our first few weeks here, in JUNE, were in the 70's.
- "It's breezy" means any air current that doesn't threaten to knock you over or prohibit you from riding a bicycle.
- "It's windy" means your eyes water when you try to walk into the wind, and even Lucy seems like she wants to get back inside as quickly as possible. Impossible to walk without effort or ride a bike into the wind.
On that note, it's lovely today -- sunny at 50 degrees!
