A Wee Bit Chilly
Expected wind chills well into the negative double digits, and so cold, they cancelled the January Polar Plunge:
One of this season’s annual Polar Plunge events, where brave swimmers take a dip in the freezing waters of Lake Michigan to benefit needy families, has been canceled due to the extreme cold in the Chicago area.
A separate, a much larger Polar Plunge event, which occurs every March and raises money for Special Children’s Charities and Special Olympics Illinois, is not affected.
This year’s plunge, scheduled for Saturday, was canceled due to “extreme weather and beach conditions,” according to a statement from the Chicago Polar Bear Club, a local nonprofit that holds the event each January to raise money to support families who need help with, among other things, covering medical expenses, finding safe homes and caring for extended family.
You know it's always cooler near the lake.
It would seem it's even colder in the lake.
Stay warm if you can.

It's so cold I saw a democrat walking outside with his hands in his own pockets for once!
*rim shot*
Did the plunge a few times… Lake Michigan water temp is actually warmer than the air temp.
OT: Two kindergarten teachers at Propel Schools in Pittsburgh, PA, who posted a video celebrating and crossing their fingers after reports that Iran was making threats to assassinate President Trump have been identified as Katie Patterson and Devin Hays.
Call the school and ask what measures are in place to protect children from being influenced by radical teachers.

This is why I don’t bitch when it’s hot out.
Check on your homeless this weekend boys and girls-if you’re feeling really generous buy them a hot cup of coffee or soup. It’s good for you too.
Schools are closed but wait look conehead over in liberal Democratic controlled Evanston a indoctrination center err school is closing forever due to financial difficulties here’s your sign conehead: https://wgntv.com/evanston/evanston-kingsley-school-closure/
*and bonus points this place had hundreds of students, unlike many schools he that have full staffs few kids, wasting billions in scarce taxpayer dollars!
Yeouch!
This is nothing. When I was a kid.....
So CPS ie. CTU, closed today with no elearing. because not everybody has access to elearning.’ What a joke. Just a few years ago wasn’t it CPS that gave out thousands of laptops/tablets during covid for elearning. Hmmmm.
CTU once again didn’t want to do their job. Not that it helps when they do. By the way, where are those laptops?
These were the days that you never wanted to have a big fire or a bad car wreck.
Heard they'll still have officers on foot patrols downtown today.
If the governor took the plunge, the lake might empty out!
I'm not buying them a thing. Plenty of charities and services available, they can go seek it out. Not going anywhere near them...
Call the school… haha. Holy shit! Do something better with your time pal. You’ll live longer.
Lmao
When I hear the words "polar vortex" it makes me hungry. Nothing hits the spot like a Subway sandwich at 3:00am. I'm so hungry I think I'll walk a few blocks to my local Subway. Never mind Uber Eats, I need to get my steps in. I hope nothing happens to me while I'm walking in this cold weather.
Global warming
Today would be a good day to go pick up some outstanding warrants.
In sure there smart enough to find a business to stay warm.
I’m not sure that’s a good idea, you know them Mega folks be lurking around looking for people who be hungry..
I agree
I personally donate more then necessary every APRIL 15th. Should have made better life choices and they would not be in this situation! I make sure to tell them that whether it is walking into a store, on the street corner, or where ever. Not my fucking problem!
CPS would have an e learning day but all the computers they gave away have vanished.
Not enough to worry about then you have the AG in Arizona advocating, shooting ice agents You can’t make this up

Don’t worry about them. They know how to take care of themselves.
An image of Governor Faso in a speedo just flashed in my mind. Now, you see it too. ;-)
Subway at 3am, you may run into Juicy planing his next comeback.
Don't ask questions like that, it's racist.
