It's cold out there
Chicago Tribune | The wind chill's cold comfort
It's cold out there. One of the things that a resident of Chicago must adjust to quickly is the winter climate. However, even after scaring incoming first years from warmer climes here at the UofC with descriptions of the frigid weather, every year it takes even veterans a few weeks to get used to the winter weather. The greatest time to notice what this kind of living does to you is when the temperature just peaks over positive forty degrees Fahrenheit during those occasional warm-ups in January and February. Stepping outside, one is greeted by crowds of coat-less college-students wearing t-shirts and jeans. The cold hardens you, at least temporarily; but it gives you something to be proud of in these difficult winter months.
