What’s not happening is snow. After having proactively canceled my training appointment for this morning due to the forecast, I woke up to rain.

Already getting annoyed at Bears fans acting like the McCaskey’s will remotely pay a premium to go after Harbaugh. When will fans learn that this team doesn’t pay a premium for coaching? This is the team that figured throwing a few quarters at a CFL coach would work out.

awoke to rain here downtown Chicago — kids disappointed but made for quicker drop to school than I had expected

Seems like the Bears are willing to give Eberflus another year. Or they could kick him to the curb as the Cubs did with Ross if they deem Harbaugh to tempting to pass up. I do believe as Eberflus goes so does Fields.

No snow yet but hoping we get some soon. And thanks for the Underdog. But who pays for all the phone booths that Underdog ruined? 🤔

If you want snow, feel free to come to the Quad Cities area. Wet, heavy snow coming down hard. Take back w/you as much as you want…please.

“… throwing a few quarters … .”

If you need proof of inflation, Old Man Halas threw around nickels … .

Just a dusting of snow overnight here in beautiful DuPage County. Since sunup it’s been snow mixed with rain. A good day to have a cup of tea, look out the window, and enjoy being inside.

Snow overnight, now rain in the 60827 bordering Chicago. Heavy wet slush is the result; careful shoveling, people.
As to the Bears: Fire Getsy; he’s too inconsistent with play calling. Either get Harbaugh or keep Eberflus; at least “Eber” is showing some signs of hope.

This region - the Quad Cities in the Eastern Iowa media market - is a snowstorm of snow mixed with non-stop caucus media saturation. All of the GOP candidates are China lovers - except Trump. Trump has a spot with nothing except DeSantis praising him from 2020 in heavy rotation. All of the GOP candidates will end the Biden Immigration Crisis causing chaos and death in Iowa.
