OP here. The last time I was there was in March and I had a light jacket and froze! I'm definitely checking the weather and bringing gloves and a hat.


March in Chicago is still in full fledged winter. It doesn't really get to be warm (55-60 degrees on a regular basis) until May. We then get about 2-3 weeks of nice spring weather and then bam, it's 80-90 and humid. I hate Chicago weather and I live here.


But then we had February this year, which was practically May. Then back to snow. Anyway, OP today it is in the 80s and tonight it will be in the 50s…
