A friend sent this...and they are all pretty dead-on.
- If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you live in Chicago.
- If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Chicago.
- If you measure distance in hours, you live in Chicago.
- If you have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again, you live in Chicago.
- If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in Chicago.
- If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you live in Chicago.
- If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you live in Chicago.
- If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you live in Chicago.
- If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you live in Chicago .
- If you find 10 degrees "a little chilly", you live in Chicago.

So are you a true Chicagoan yet? Or do you still think 10 degrees is cold? ;) ha ha
that's funny... i heard jeff foxworthy do the same jokes - "you know you're in north dakota if..." i guess chicago and north dakota aren't all that different... maybe 20 or 30 degrees and 1 billion miles - but other than that, just the same. you bet ya!
