Almost there, after 13 long, cold days

The temperature at Inner Drive Technology World HQ has crept all the way up to -0.4°C (31.3°F), close enough to freezing that it would take hours to get frostbite. But you'd still get frostbite, so it's not quite where we want it. Officially at O'Hare it's -0.6°C (31.0°F), the warmest since 9pm on Friday January 16th.

Sadly for Cassie, I'm in my downtown office and have a work event tonight, so we can't take advantage of this warmth. Tomorrow, though, the forecast calls for above-freezing temperatures most of the day. I hope so; Cassie and I both need a long walk. We'll get one Sunday if tomorrow doesn't work out, at least.

Update: It got all the way up to -0.3°C before starting to cool off again. So close!
