But nonetheless, I enjoy weather phenomena.
The thing that cracks me up is, people *itch when its too hot, above 90 (for me anything over 70 is too hot), and they *itch when its too cold, under 50 (for me, under 30) No one is ever happy in Ca.....Bring me 4 seasons I say!!!
So, now that Ive jacked your thread........Auto, let me throw this your way, because theres different interpretation of what "chance of precipitation" is.....
Is there a 100% chance that it will rain over 60% of the forecast area, or 60% chance that it will rain over 100% of the forecast area...........LOL
In Chicago, meteorological mayhem can come in the form of high winds, torrential rains, hellacious heat (e.g. 1988, 1995), Severe Thunderstorms, snowstorms/blizzards, subzero temperatures, Flooding, and the occasional tornado (Outlying counties, mostly. Last twister to run through the City of Chicago was in 1966).
