Snow on Monday. Northern Lights on Tuesday and Wednesday. Today/Friday, temps in the 60's. I wouldn't be surprised if people flock to the beaches today.

On November 13, 1872 #OTD Claude Monet painted "Impression, soleil levant" from his studio window in a single morning.

It depicts the port of Le Havre, France, and gave the Impressionist movement its name.

Tonight the Northern Lights over Chicago. Last night was a high-bar to reach, but it's rather amazing to see the aurora borealis this active this far south of the Arctic Circle

Snowy Start. This morning, Chicago's Millennium Park gets hit with lake effect snow while the autumn colors are in their final days.

My Big Parka wearing begins no earlier than December 1, which coincides with Chicago’s overnight winter parking ban. ❄️❄️❄️
Do not let Big Parka get to you. We are not in parka weather. You do not need a parka in this weather.
