5th day in a row of this rainy, drizzly, cloudy nonsense here in chicago. i know you PNW guys live with this kind of crap for months on end, but to have a weather system hang over chicago for 5 straight days is extremely rare. the local meteorologists (aka compulsive liars) say that a cold front will finally sweep this system away tomorrow, but with the front comes the possibility of thunderstorms.
sometimes, you just can't win.
