Is it just me or does this look like the frozen fist of Jack Frost punching the midwest right in the teeth? People who know me at all know I'm from the Chicagoland area and generations of friends and family are there, including my parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins and all of their kids and pets. Sure, we're no strangers to cold and have a windchill that makes us famous, but to say that this is exceptional would be an understatement.
To all my loved ones, be warm and be safe. To anyone living somewhere warm, please be kind with your words because this kind of weather kills.
