Celsius/Fahrenheit

First of all, let's quickly dispense of the idea that Chicago Weather is any windier than it is in any other city. Chicago is not the windy city, at least not when it comes to weather (some say the wind refers to windbag politicians).

Chicago weather really depends on the time of year, with some nice weather occurring between late spring and the middle of fall, and some brutal weather the rest of the year. Killer heat waves and killer cold have both hit Chicago in the not-so-distant past. You really need to look at the individual month to get an idea of what to expect.
