Come up to Chicago for a few months to cool down- mid 80s and sunny up here for the summer (though we have had our years of 100+ degree weather too)

According to the Vibe, it was 89 on my way home from the doctor earlier today. According to WeatherBug right now it's 90.6 with 40% humidity. Not too bad, but I prefer the 70s-80s with low humidity.

Everyone I see on FB is complaining about the heat and saying they want 5 feet of snow and -20F weather. Yeah, right. They were the ones complaining about 32F being cold "as hell" (which is an adjective I REALLY don't understand). It's gonna suck working out in this type of weather.

Yesterday, it got up to at least 108 (according to the Vibe while we were driving to the Petroleum Museum).Today's high is estimated to be 105. I'm so glad we get to live in this guest house with working AC, the apartment we were living in would be cooking us.
