Default January in Chicago - Part II

Well, 2 weeks ago it was 64 degrees, so I took the bike out of hibernation.
ApparentlyI really pi$$ed off Mother Nature, when I woke her a$$ up.

This morning's headline:
Temperatures in the DeKalb area are supposed to reach a high of 6 degrees Saturday and 10 degrees Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. But northwest winds of up to 30 miles an hour will create a wind chill factor between 20 degrees and 30 degrees below zero. At those temperatures, exposed flesh will freeze in under 60 seconds, Northern Illinois University meteorologist Gilbert Sebenste said.

Oh well... just another day of"Accessorizing Season".
