Tumultuous Nature & The After Holiday Malaise

The weather in Seattle and Chicago cannot seem to make up its mind as to season or regional climate zone. After unprecedented snow, ice, thunder, and rain in Seattle, there are now floods and avalanches! Chicago has had record snow in December, but it came, melted, came some more, and then there was freezing rain making the streets like ice rinks, and now thunder, lightning, torrential rain, massive flooding washing away all the above i n 58 degree weather...in December...only to face freezing temperatures in the next few days and tornado watches! Shoppers weren't tempted by record price slashing...blame it on the weather!
