A year of records

No, not me.  In fact, i am mediocre at best at almost everything i attempt.

I'm talking about the weather!  What's going on with you weather?  I won't even go into world wide weather phenomena over the past year, but just Chicago alone has been all over the place.  Between the mild dry winter, the 80 degree days in March, the 100 degree days in June, and the 71 degree day just last week, I am a little concerned.  Don't get me wrong.  The fact that it is sunny and 50 degrees right now is awesome.  You know what isn't awesome?  I am drowning under a sea of year end deadlines, and looking outside is only making it harder for me to focus on this mountain of work (especially since it is dark when i go in, and dark when i leave.  It's a vampires life for me!) I would feel much better about all of this if it was snowing right now.

Why hasn't it snowed yet???  We already smashed the record for longest amount of days without measurable snowfall.  In a couple more days, we will smash the record for latest day in December without seeing snow fall.  What's going on up there??  Is somebody asleep on the job?

Well, as someone who loves running through fresh snow (when it is less than 3" deep) and leaving her tracks all over the city, I am begging you, Chicago...

LET IT SNOW!!

Little baby snows....

Big fancy snows.....

Even blurry snows that get in your eyes and sometimes cause temporary blindness....

I am lost and depressed without you.  I'll take anything at this point.  How are we supposed to show what badass winter runners we are when there's no snow??
