Chicago springs have moods

Take today's temperatures, for example:

Fortunately, Cassie got a half-hour walk at 7am and a 25-minute walk at noon, just before the cold front came through. And the next couple of days will be...more Spring:

This Afternoon
Snow. Steady temperature around 1. Breezy, with a northwest wind around 45 km/h, with gusts as high as 70 km/h. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than one centimeter possible.

Tonight
Snow showers likely before midnight, then isolated flurries between midnight and 4am. Cloudy, then gradually becoming partly cloudy, with a low around -3. Windy, with a northwest wind 45 to 50 km/h decreasing to 35 to 40 km/h after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 75 km/h. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of less than a half centimeter possible.

Thursday
Sunny, with a high near 4. Breezy, with a west wind 30 to 35 km/h decreasing to 20 to 25 km/h in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 55 km/h.

Thursday Night
A slight chance of rain before 1am, then a slight chance of snow between 1am and 3am, then a slight chance of rain and snow after 3am. Increasing clouds, with a low around 1. West wind 10 to 15 km/h, with gusts as high as 25 km/h. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Friday

But...it'll be 14° on Monday, 17°C on Tuesday, and 16°C on Wednesday, which will feel a lot more like spring. And Cassie will get more walks.
