If so, what's the weather like right now?

I'm going to spend the weekend there and don't know if I should pack some sweaters. Is it as windy as they say it is? According to the weather channel, it's in the mid 70s. That sounds pretty warm to me.

This reminds me of another thread I responded to once. It makes me sad :(

^ Sorry?

I don't have a proper frame of reference. It's been years since I've lived somewhere without humidity. So 70 means tank tops and shorts for me.

It's supposed to be in the upper 60's over the weekend. Bring some sweaters as it will be cooler at night.

 

The 'windy' is a reference to the politicians, not weather. Although people think it refers to the weather. It does get windy downtown in the winter when wind tunnels can form from the tall buildings. And there are occasional tornadoes way out in the cornfield suburbs. It's no windier here than in any other city.

 

Summers here can be very humid. But it's spring, so it varies...hot and humid one day, rainy another, sunny and clear another.

Ok, so I've included some sweaters.

Thanks for explaining the 'windy' part, Norajane.

I feel kind of silly now. :o

No need to feel silly. Most people here think it refers to the weather, too!

I don't know about it being windy right now unless you're by the lake. i live downtown and it's pretty darn hot here. maybe that's because my building doesn't have AC right now though. Seems like shorts and tshirt weather to me though!

Well I was in the Loop and I'm so grateful that I brought sweaters and a jacket. It was ridiculously cold and windy to me. But then I live in Florida, I suppose anywhere else is windier...well when we're not having hurricanes. :p

Hey, my friend was in Chicago this past weekend for some convention. I wonder if you were there for the same reason.

 

I am only about 4 hours outside of Chi-town and we pretty much get the same weather. It did get cooler at night, but during the day was alright.

 

Chicago rocks!:cool:

Acutally I went there to meet an online friend for the first time. The timing couldn't have been more perfect since we were right on time for an arts festival. Looptopia! Actually it was kind of cheesy, but we had lots of fun running around trying to find things. The art institute was mind blowing, so was the architecture.

 

So I completely agree with you. Chicago is awesome!
