Erie St Autumn

The fall has begun, and even in Chicago there is sometimes the hint of smoke in the air to remind us of autumn in more pastoral lands… In NYC, at the climate meeting, the point was made that by 2050 the warmest year currently on record would be considered their coldest. Detroit and Chicago are considered ideal cities at temperatures predicted for mid to late 21st century, along with beautiful climate from San Francisco up the northern west coast to Alaska.

Meanwhile, the almanac and meteorologists predict cold winters in pairs, meaning winter 2015 in Chicago may be the evil twin of the polar vortex.
