oh, wow. Dude, I live in Chicago. You must live in the alternate Chicago because temperature and snowfall for the last two years has been well above an average year. They met up with history just this past year in both temperature and snowfall. So you enjoy your alternate city, the real city in the USA had very severe winter weather. the reason in 1970 the streets were not plowed was mostly due to preparedness and availability of plows and salt that are now in abundance. Dude, seriously, go back and continue with your program 'Fringe'.
Hey son, what is the temperature today in Chicago and what is average for today?
Are you on drugs.
Okay, one more time, WEATHER IS NOT CLIMATE!!!
No, the reason why 1978 and 1979 were such bad winters is because we had A SHITLOAD OF SNOW like you just do not see today.
Yes, you had a couple of bad storms here and there, but nothing like that.
