This weekend, those of us in Chicago were given a nice surprise: temperatures in the 30s and40s. For a brief moment we were treated to temperatures above the freezing point. After a long unwanted stay, the ice and snow were forced to relent. It gave us a glimpse into what Spring and Summer could bring once again.
It's amazing how things that were once mundane and taken for granted suddenly transform into being fresh and appreciated after a long absence. I mean after having to endure a temperature of -15 degrees Fahrenheit, 10 degrees Fahrenheit really doesn't feel so bad. So 40 degrees Fahrenheit felt awesome. I suppose this is what people mean by relativity. I guess going through the worst of extremes makes you realize how well you had it in the first place.
