Do you miss snow?









Updated: January 9, 2013 9:30PM



A combination of a widespread drought and a mostly absent winter pushed the average annual U.S. temperature last year up to 55.32 degrees, the government announced Tuesday. That’s a full degree warmer than the old record set in 1998. But in January in the Chicago area, most of us are watching and waiting for the seemingly inevitable snow. We are reminded of the great blizzard of ‘67, even if we weren’t born in ‘67. Do you miss snow?
