We’ve all been walking around Chicagoland lately, all cocky, with a spring in our step, sunshine on our backs and a “Spring is finally here!” feeling in our hearts.

Mother Nature’s about to put us back in our place. Tonight, 6″ to 8″ of snow expected, with a huge red flashing winter storm warning on the weather.com. No one believes the weather report though, because the sunshine is beaming here right now and the sky is as blue as a pair of Dutchman’s pants. We’re pretending that we don’t hear them.

I’m sick about it. I thought today was the first official day of spring?

I guess I’ll be put back in my place of being bummed about winter.
