Now that you gents have dodged the tornadoes this week, What is the temperature prognosis down there this summer? 120, 130, 140 F?
It was 86 two days ago on April 3rd up here in Illinois!

It's perfectly normal for temperatures in Illinois, at least in Cook
County (read Chicagoland) to cycle through >100°F in a year. That means
below 0° in the winter to 100+° in the summer. Around Lake Michigan, the
thunderstorms that sweep through in the summer can be severe. In winter
the winds are brutal. That's why Chicago is called the Windy City.
I've watched 727 traffic on short final into O'Hare 14R from Busse Woods
Forest Preserve (42.047°, -88.021°) in late-fall cranking into stiff
crosswinds and pouring throttles on as evident by the smoke trail.
Those there the days Norton! Chicago O'Hare... "727 City!!"
Have we covered 727 departure with close-in turn as SOP, i.e. CI left
turns out of KORD 22L? http://home.comcast.net/~flightsim/727_TO.gif

Ya never know down here. But honestly, one thing is consistent, it's

NEVER cool. Last summer the draught killed us, let's hope that
doesn't repeat.
But yesterday?... 78° and perfect... crystal clear blue sky,
everything is verdant green. Took the bicycle on a 16 mile trip
around the lake. Woo Hoo.

Yeah, I'm a bike rider now... but one of our members here thinks 16 miles
is a silly little warm up.
...know who he is?

Glad we are getting exercise... keeps the doctor away.
In California, one of the office mates would ride his bike up into the
hills near San Martin (find South County Airport) and then coast down,
getting all or much of the energy back, and a cool-off.

exploding along with all the vine plants I've planted. the grass
wouldn't grow last summer no matter how much I watered it. Now the
grass is green and the wild flowers on the back of the property are
growing everywhere.
I just know when June hits everything is going back to crispy golden.
