This entry is very appropriate for today. This morning, December 23, 2022, it was -8 degrees outside here in Spring Grove, Illinois. By 1 pm, it had "Warmed Up" to -2 degrees. It is -5 degrees right now.
Christmas 1982 saw Chicago reach 64 degrees, setting a record for highest temperature on the holiday.
Just one year later in 1983, the coldest-ever temperature for the holiday was recorded at O'Hare at bone-chilling negative 17 degrees.
As for a very white Christmas Day, it happened in 1950 when Chicago received a whopping 5.1 inches of snow, setting a city snowfall record for that day. Yesterday and this morning we got maybe two-tenths of an inch of the white stuff.
