Sweet! Chicago will be 9 degrees warmer than Minneapolis on Thursday!
MPLS Thursday high: -4 Chicago Thursday high: 5
... and yes the low on Thursday in MPLS is -16. Glad I'll be gone.

Is anyone flying into Midway? My flight arrives just before 4, so if anyone else is there around that time, perhaps we could share a cab. Countdown clock: The Hold Steady at the House of Blues

According to the Star Trib, Thursday is going to be the coldest morning of winter (I'm assuming they mean "so far" since we still have a couple months of winter to go). So enjoy the balmy Chicago weather.

Countdown clock: The Hold Steady at the House of BluesSorry essbee, but I'm flying into O'Hare earlier, or I'd totally split a cab with you. And THANK YOU for the countdown clock! It's making the wait ever-so-slightly easier as I sit here at my desk, waiting for Thursday. Am excited for the show, but the cold? Not so much. Sigh -- it's one of the reasons I left the midwest in the first place. I'm hoping at least to get to see the sun.

I feel better already. It would be easier if you were actually here, though.

I hope all of you travel safely and enjoy the show until your wrecked. Cheers-Holdin'.
