"Climate Change Is A Chinese Hoax!"

Photo:  DNAInfo
It is January 22, in Chicago. The forecast high for today is 55, with heavy rain/thunderstorms until later this afternoon. Tonight, it dips down to the lower 30s, so it can all freeze, then in in a day or two we go back up to the 40s and 50s.

There are no patterns to the weather any more. Yes, we normally have a January Thaw (in 1967, it got up to 70 degrees; the next day we had three feet of snow), but they don't go on for two weeks at a time, and the temperatures have been in the 40s for the past three or four days, and then a couple weeks ago we had another warm spell.

I wish the Chinese would lay off.
