Chicago’s Weather is Angsty
*Singing* “My kind of town, Chicago is…”
I love Chicago, LAWD KNOWS I DO!! But if this city’s weather is not crazy, I don’t know what is. I mean SHEESH! A week and a half ago, it was 80 degrees and sunny. The type of weather that makes birds sing, crickets chirp extra loudly, skipping ensues, people loiter outside for no absolute reason…
However, Fall is the big old kid in recess who pushed Summer to the ground and kicked it in the stomach. It swooped in with NO warning and the day after the 80 degree weather of elation came 57 degrees of gray skies and gloom. I mean, I love Chicago but this weather is more volatile than:
- The hormones of a 9-month pregnant woman on the verge of menopause
- The stomach of someone who ate beans, eggs and meat pie for lunch (and washed it down with chocolate milk)
- Lil Kim’s hair game
- A schizophrenic manic depressive
- Rihanna’s vocals (and dancing)
- Ashanti’s dancing (and vocals)
Chicago is like the angsty emo-goth teenager of the Midwest who you can’t help but love cuz when she is in a great mood, she is beautiful and charming. However, she can turn on you in a minute, and next thing you know, she’s saying “I HATE YOU”, storming up the stairs and slamming her room door. How else can you explain waking up to 55 degrees and rain, then by noon, it is 75 degrees and very sunny. Then by 8pm, its 35 degrees and nipply (yes nipply. The condition where unless wearing the right padded bras, us women become thermometers).
*Sigh* Well I’m holding on to Summer like it owes me something for the next 13 days. Fall is clearly being selfish. It was so cold yesterday that my fairer skinned counterparts had on coats. YES! it was THAT serious.

I had on a coat…well, a light jacket.
That sounds like may days back home in Detroit.
Being in Hotlanta though, I can’t wait for the fall.
I talked to one of my friends from your area yesterday and they told me how strange the weather is up there. It looks like you all are in for a cold winter.
lol at ‘angsty emo teenager’
Hi I just found you on 20 something bloggers and it’s cracking me up!
I know what you mean about Chicago, you can go to the weather page and it will say temperature is 70 degrees and then right under it says something like, BUT FEEL LIKE 10 degrees.
Or you will be walking around a corner of a building and be greeted with a freezing cold gust of wind!
Michigan is the exact same way–our weather is temperamental AT BEST!
“Lil Kim’s hair game”
Classic!
We had had rain here in North Cackalacky for the past week and that sucks that Summer is going out like that here….
Its already cold as hell here in Denver
OH the cruel cruel inhumanity, of Chicago’s when it is not summer.
I cried when I had toput on a long sleeve shirt yesterday.
I rebelled when I went to dinner, I put on a summer dress and told mama’ nature to kiss my grits, I aint letting summer go! BTW Mama Nature ain’t no punk she kicked my tail, and I sit know with the sniffles….
Basically, having Summer end sooooo abruptly is like
~having a homo sister who uses your chapstick and thinks it is ok…
~ dreaming about Lance Gross and waking up to Biz Markie
~Watching B. Spears on 07′ VMA’s after seeing her last concert on tour (pre- babies-mama’s)
Basically Chicago has too seasons…. SUMMER and then…. cold as SANTA’s nutz in a speedo on a seligh!
gotta love the midwest.
LMAO @ you, Sweetest. See?? You get me!
And I’m glad everyone else understands my pain. *Sigh* Goodbye Summer.
