By Cargo Bob: Does it cold at Chicago Midway???

Yes it does - in the winter like every where else. Have you been watching the news lately. They're not exactly getting ice cream cones from the DQ to the car in Chicago these days. You know what the ANC high temp is supposed to be today? Somewhere between 68 and 70. I'm quite positive there's no other place in this country that has winter averages in the 20's and summer averages in the 60's, with 80 being a scorcher. In fact, I don't think there's any place even close, let alone a place that is a Major Airline pilot base.
BTW - I think they have family up here, or she's originally from here, or something to that effect.
