Cubs Home Opener Today-- Part 1: Cold and How Long?

Listening to Lin Braemer on WXRT, 93.1 FM right now and he is broadcasting from Wrigleyville, right by Wrigley Field, for a home opener that is going to be plenty miserable with high winds, temps in the lower 40s, overcast and rain/drizzle.

I definitely wouldn't want to be there. This is the 100th anniversary of Wrigley Field, which opened in 1914. WXRT newscaster Mary Dixon just mentioned that in 1914, Cub fans were grousing about the long five-year drought from the last World Series Championship in 1908. Cub fans are still waiting for that elusive NEXT World Series Championship.
