Great chart. My in-laws used to be from Minnesota - same kinda thing. I loved that little temperature thing you folks lovingly refer to as 'Lake Effect'. Oh well, it was only 72 today in SoCal so I do have long pants on.

Gene: I think I should rename this "hallucinating in Chicago without a coat".  We'll get to 72 sometime in June!
