Um... this is fucking crazy. (Yes, this is about the weather.)

So, when I posted before, I included this image from Accuweather.com from this evening, at 12:47AM:



And now, at 1:11AM, a mere 24 minutes later, this is what is up:



Yes, you are reading that correctly: "RealFeel® -37˚F" NEGATIVE.

Oh, and the national weather service has this to add:

"A WIND CHILL WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON CST TODAY.

VERY STRONG WINDS AND BITTERLY COLD TEMPERATURES WILL RESULT IN
WIND CHILLS OF 25 TO 35 DEGREES BELOW ZERO THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING.

A WIND CHILL WARNING MEANS THE COMBINATION OF VERY COLD AIR AND
STRONG WINDS WILL CREATE DANGEROUSLY LOW WIND CHILL VALUES. THIS
WILL RESULT IN FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA OR DEATH IF
PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN."

Note that last sentence.

Chicago is trying to kill me.

Oh, and the wind has been blowing so hard that it's been snowing inside my enclosed-windows-securely-shut back porch.

Thank God for Accuweather's infographics:



That is all.

Can I please just say that I have always wanted to visit Chicago (even more specifically, visit YOU in Chicago) and that you should never work for the tourism board. Ever.
