Seeking Expat Input
Hi there, I thought it was coincidental that I heard a review of this book on NPR just hours before I interviewed for a position in Auckland. Louisville, KY is my hometown, but I've lived in Nantucket, Taos, and Hawaii. I'm considering a move to New Zealand and would love to hear about the experiences of other Americans or Canadians that have relocated there.

Winter is the perfect time to start planning your garden and if you're a seasoned gardener you're probably thinking about your favorites like the flavorful heirloom tomato, spicy pepper, veritable squash, crispy lettuce, aromatic herbs and super-foods like kale and spinach. So this year why not add parsnips to your garden.
Beyond their sweetness and relation to that other root vegetable, the carrot, it's worth mentioning how long you can safely extend the parsnips' harvesting season. At a time when most of the garden has gone quiet you can dig your parsnips from unfrozen ground long into the winter months and even into early spring.
As you go from garden to table imagine how warm and tasty a side dish of roasted or fried parsnips would be on a cold winter's day.

Roland Barthes wrote, "We photograph things in order to drive them out of our minds." If so, perhaps we view photographs in order to knock the knowledge we once had back in. It's something to consider while viewing Teenie Harris: Elections, a new exhibition of work by the esteemed Pittsburgh native.
Shooting for the Pittsburgh Courier, the legendary African-American newspaper, Harris captured black urban life for 40 years. The Carnegie Museum of Art, which owns the 80,000 photographs comprising Harris' collection, worked with three guest curators: former KDKA anchor Harold Hayes, Pittsburgh City Councilor Daniel Lavelle and actor and activist Michael Keaton. Together they chose about two dozen of Harris' most engaging political images.
There's Harry Truman stumping in the Hill District in the '40s, elevated above a racially diverse crowd. Other famous figures include Orson Welles, and Hill District civil-rights pioneer Thelma Lovette, radiant at the height of her youth and activism. The exhibition's centerpiece, however, is a not a famous figure. It depicts a billboard urging, "Vote Republican" as a towheaded girl, in bobby socks and clutching a golliwog, narrowly evades the grasp of dark and monstrous claws. The additional billboard text reads "Make Our Homes and Streets SAFE." The 1949 photo isn't just shocking evidence that mainstream political fearmongering has been going on for 70 years. It's a showcase for Harris' astounding visual storytelling. The amount of information being conveyed is masterful. There's the grim ad on the billboard itself, then the charming scene beyond, with fluffy clouds, nice homes and clean streets.
Providing a little history is a flatscreen running a video essay featuring Harris' nearest and dearest describing his life and work. But I don't suspect a small iPad bolted to the wall will get much use, and it's a shame: It houses the Teenie Harris essay series, written for the museum's blog, and featuring voices from Pittsburgh's black artist community.
If nothing else, go to admire the art of film photography. The large, gleaming inkjet prints testify to the power of film, displaying depth and dimension that seemingly emanate from the very character of their subjects. There's no wonder why some artists refuse to abandon the medium. Maybe they're right. Harris, however incidentally, seemed to prove that everything old will be new again.

Henry Ate - Pandoras Child Chords & Tabs
Pandoras Child Chords & Tabs
Pandora's Child - Henry Ate Courtesy of Joris Van Gaal email@example.com This song has some nice chords which make intensively use of unfretted strings. In this way the strings do have a really nice voicings as is the case with 'open' chords. These are the 'unusual' chords that are used in this song. The lines represent the strings of your guitar with the high E on top and the low E on the bottom. Dots point out to where strings are to be fretted. Some dots appear at the most left vertical bar, which means that it is played as an open string. So, the Esus chord below says that 3 strings are played 'open' and that the fretted notes resemble an A, E, B. Esus Bsus Amaj7sus Asus You'll have to finger out your own fingering positions and then you'll hear what a nice, rich chords these are. I'm not sure whether these chords are exactly the same as Karma's, but I thought that these came close. And once you mastered these chords and the song, pay particularly attention to the way these chords are played, the rythym guitar. Good luck and have fun!] [ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/h/henry_ate/pandoras_child_crd.html ] Intro: E Esus Asus Amaj7sus E Esus Asus Amaj7sus Bsus Asus Bsus Asus E Esus Asus A voice of darkness. Set your heart aside Amaj7sus Put away the black box, Pandora's child E Esus Asus Amaj7sus For those who see it may not understand E Esus Asus Still charming butterflies by candle light Amaj7sus On sundays selling roses to the moon E Esus Asus Amaj7sus For out of the darkness comes light Bsus So I'll stop pretending Asus No reason to hide Bsus Your envy progressing Asus [hold] The day I met Pandora's child The earth turned backwards, I didn't care The sun came out of the night to stare For out of this darkness comes light A voice of darkness warned beware into my arms Remaining there for if you love me don't let go And I'll stop pretending No reason to hide Your envy progressing The day I kissed Pandora's child These walls change color. Shapes set aside Put away the black box, Pandora's child. For into the womb of a flower pours rain. Pandora's child so named remain And I'll stop pretending No reason to hide Your darkness ending For I'm in love with Pandora's child

Like most people, highly placed public servants yearn for fatter paychecks. Unlike most people, some of those public servants -- namely, Congressmen -- are in a position to vote raises for themselves. Or cuts. In the Depression year of 1932, a politically prudent concern for seemliness prompted Congress to slash its salaries 10%. That is not likely to happen in 1987. But as members of the 100th Congress weigh the very real financial needs of officials in all branches of Government, including themselves, they are painfully aware of how public sentiment is running. During a call-in poll last month, ABC television...

Patricia Hayes (SARChI Chair Visual History & Theory);
Photographer Eric Miller
The course offers students the opportunity to become skilled in both the historical and cultural analysis of images, and their production. The focus is particularly on photography and its relationship to African history. There are two sides to the course: one theoretical and the other practical.
Theory: The ten theory classes cover a range of topics, starting with recent deconstructions of 'the invention' of photography in the 19th century and the dissemination of the medium around the globe. Colonial uses of photography on the continent are explored, including the relationship between anthropology and photography. The ways in which African subjects have taken up the medium range from early studio practices to radical photojournalism, documentary and art, up to the digital dissidence of the present day in social media. The course also takes up important debates about vision and violence, civil engagement, and the tensions in Africa and elsewhere between the visible and the invisible that extend into questions of race, gender, sexuality and spirituality.
Theory class starting date: 14 February 2018
Class time: Wednesday 1 – 3 pm
Venue: Seminar Room 2, Centre for Humanities Research, UWC
- Call :021 959 2225
- email: firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
A series of seven practical workshops accompanies the theory class, promoting visual literacy and imparting the necessary skills for photographic competence. After many years of using analogue cameras and working digitally with negatives, the class has made the full transition to digital photography. Students will be taught the basics of the DSLR camera, and conduct their own assignments in portraiture, movement, still life, landscape and street life. Assignments and projects will be undertaken within a specific area of Cape Town, the historic Voortrekker Road. Students will also be introduced to Photoshop and related software as part of their training with photographer Eric Miller.
Practical photography workshops starting date: to be confirmed
Class time: Wednesday 8 – 12

(Or, "Isn't high inflation and misrepresenting its effects a local issue, Desmond, Tharman & PM?")
Update on 27 May: The PAP are singing the blues! Gd for you 62.1% of voting Hougangers))))
Should rich kid Tharman (he from ACS) and poor RI boy, but now multi-millionaire, Hng Kiang (The model examplar that ministerial performance is irrelevant so long as the voters don't get too upset?) be punished by the voters of Hougang for their tasteless jokes on inflation? Latest stats: inflation at 5.4% (even higher than March's 5.2%)
Deputy Prime Minister Tharman had said the "average Singapore" will not be affected by the high inflation after the latest set of Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures for March was announced only https://atans1.wordpress.com/2012/05/03/telling-coc-jokes-ministerial-coc-needed/.
Minister Lim Hng Kiang when explaining in Parliament why most of will not be 'directly' affected by inflation said, "The two largest contributors to CPI inflation are expected to be imputed rentals on owner-occupied accommodation and car prices. Together, they will account for more than half of the inflation this year. As the majority of resident households in Singapore own their homes, they do not actually incur rental expenditure. Likewise, the majority of resident households will not be directly affected by the rise in COE premiums as new car buyers make up a small proportion of all resident households. "
And a few years ago, when the price oil rise was leading to higher inflation, he recommended that people switch to "cheaper" brands, as if people don't know that already.
According to Jentrified Citizen:Every average person whom I have talked to from the aunty who makes my favourite teh tarik to the taxi-driver say that they are feeling the pinch of inflation every single day. Most Singaporeans who pay their own bills would know just how hard inflation has hit them. The list of prices increase seems to get longer every day – the infamous housing and car/COE prices, the higher charges for public transportation (yes including taxis as they are a commonly used form of public transport), petrol, car-parking, healthcare, vitamins, medicine, groceries, food and electricity and water bills.
They are not trying to be comedians, I think and hope. Trying to be fair to them, their comments show the difficulty of representing complex arguments over policy in terms that average voters can get their heads around. Problem is that they are so out-of-touch that they end up insulting our intelligence.
But I'm sure by DPM Teo's, extremely high standards (DPM, Png made "an honest mistake", he is no lawyer or scholar, juz one of the "little people", so a little inaccuracy is surely acceptable?) , they would not be men of intregity, if they were not PAP cadres and leaders.

We often ask ourselves or others this ridiculous question about what style really is, we search for wrongs and rights, and who has it and who doesn't – but how does one progress to such conclusions without understanding the word or rather the meaning of style first?
A plain and simple definition of style, according to my trusty Oxford Mini-dictionary that was published in 1991 (Old, I know) – is that the noun "style" is a manner of writing, speaking, or doing something – so in simpler terms style is the manner in which we as people present ourselves in any aspect of our lives.
The affinity between style and fashion is strong and unbreakable. When we use the term to refer to someone as "stylish" or to someone as having "style" – What are we really saying? Are they fashionable or do they actually have style?
In my own, possibly viable opinion – everyone over a period of time either gets brainwashed by the media about what style is conceived to be (in most cases getting caught up with trends, fashion, etc.), or they form their own conception on how to view, and appreciate style.
I believe style is exactly that – a person staying true to his or her self, naturally having a vying way of making even the most awkward of garment items look good together as a whole. A stylish person to me is someone who doesn't necessarily follow trends, but rather contributes to the innovation of one. Someone who doesn't allow the media to dictate what he/she should be wearing at that specific moment for that specific reason, but rather wears what they feel like when they feel like it.
With reference to that last sentence, anyone can throw on anything and claim they have style – but that's just it, you can't willingly command style to be in your possession that day or moment, like most things in life you either have it or you don't. I also feel, that style comes from inside, but resonates through a person's manner in doing things, clothes for example is a means of self-expression like art or music. Style is having that untaught ability to put on clothes effortlessly, make items with no relation to one another look beautiful – style is a lovely thing. It knows no age, or colour – nor brand, or price – it is just what it is.
And, for those without style, well… that's what stylists are for.
Scouting street style these past few days also opened up my eyes to a whole new world and idea of thinking – believe me when I say the most poorest of people have the most exuberant attitudes towards style. Which brings me to this – everyone has style deep within them waiting to erupt (and some are just lost causes, I commend you for trying though), all I can say is that you should stay true to yourself, and bask in your style for what is it.
We live in a world where we are getting to express who we are more and more each day. You can express your style by any means possible. Some may not care about style in a fashion sense – but as the late and great Yves Saint Laurent once said: "Fashion fades, Style is eternal."

Want to join me?! By now, the train has already come and gone at King's Cross Station so we'll have to find another way. I'm going to suggest ways we can finally achieve our lifelong goal while I'm smearing sticky peanut butter all over my face. This better do wonders for my complexion.
Behold: our first punishment video!
Hi Kara.
I'm giddy. Do you know why I'm giddy? Because you're going to have to put peanut butter on your face and then tell me something interesting about something interesting. I'm pretty sure you know the face I'm making but JUST IN CASE, it looks something like this:
On to my post!
I bought a few new beauty items that I wanted to feature today. They are:
I recently purchased the Marc Jacobs Beauty bronzer and Kiehl's under eye cream. And first, we need to go into a rant (is there a non-negative word for rant? I'm going to word-gush? Spit some knowledge).
I needed a new bronzer because my Nars Laguna bronzer is getting to the point where it's a real bitch to use. So I did me some research. The Laguna bronzer is $39.00 for .23 ounce of product. One ounce of product then costs $139.29. Whereas the Marc Jacobs bronzer – which is equally as wonderful – is $49.00 for one ounce of product. UM. Always check the ounces my friends.
Review time!
The Marc Jacobs Beauty O!Mega Bronze in 102 is really a wonderful product. I don't find that it's too dark or too light for my fair skin, it's very easy to blend out, it's relatively sheer (so you can't really eff it up), it's buildable, it makes me have a healthy looking glow and there's a huge mirror (which is great for travel). The product is matte, but I absolutely would not consider this to be a contour shade (for fair skin). It's a little too red toned for that. I love it! And I wont have to buy another bronzer in a long time because THIS SHIT HUGE.
The Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Circle Perfector was purchased because I finally ran out of my First Aid Beauty Eye Duty Triple Remedy: Brighten, Depuff and Smooth (sidebar: WHY ARE THE NAMES OF UNDER EYE CREAMS SO LONG JFC). The FAB product has no SPF and costs $36 for .34oz of product, whereas the Keihl's product has an SPF of 30 (very important) and costs $38.00 for .50oz of product. The Keilh's product is also more pigmented in the tint – so I feel like I don't have to wear as much concealer (or any at all). Lastly, the Keilh's container is superior. The stupid metal nob on the FAB product lost it's appeal after about the 10th time that I had to clean it.
Here's the makeup look that I created with the products above!
Hope you enjoy!
PS when did my hair get this long?
Hello Keddah,
I've finally left my Patrick Rothfuss book slump and I've started reading again! I think summer makes me read.
Memoirs of Lady Trent (series)//A Natural History of Dragons and The Tropic of Serpents
These books are WONDERFUL. They're fantasy books but their written as a memoir and I think that's so unique. Lady Trent is easily becoming one of my favorite female protagonists in literature. They're very enticing reads and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these to anyone. Andrew's reading them now. The third book is out, but only in hardback, so I'm waiting till the paperback comes out. (PS I have no idea how many books will be in this series so if you ain't down to wait, hesitate.)
I give them five out of five ducks.
Museum of Extraordinary Things
This book was recommended to me by one of the lovely ladies at Changing Hands and I'm very glad she did! I love reading about "oddities" and this book is full of them. And I've noticed that I have a thing for circuses.. Anyways, it was a creepy, eerie, social justice-y, happy ending book and I loved it. If you liked the Miss Peregrine's series, I would suggest you give this a read.
Five out of five ducks
You Deserve a Drink: Boozy Misadventures and Tales of Debauchery
Mamrie. Stop it, you beautiful beast. I LOVED this book. I've said it before, it's no Let's Pretend This Never Happened, but it's still a freaking fantastic book. It has code words, each chapter starts with a recipe for an alcoholic beverage, and there's Topless Tuesday! Note: While reading this book, Kara and I discussed the fact that if we were in college as we are now, I would never wear pants and Kara just wouldn't wear clothes period. We also decided, because of this book, that we are each others Heterosexual Life Partners. This book deserves to be read by all.
Six out of five ducks.
The Paper Magician
This book was weird. It was very captivating, but I know that it's not a well put together book. I'm going to read the second and third in the series, but this is one of those books that you're embarrassed to like. The concept is so cool, but the story line is really lame. There was just so much more that could have been done with this series.
Four out of five ducks for keeping me reading
No. I hated reading this book. The author is so fucking good at describing the feeling of being watched. For about 2/3 of the book, I was petrified. NOTHING scares me more than the feeling of being watched. But I had to finish it otherwise I would have been stuck. I won't be reading any more of the series.
Two out of five ducks.
I'm currently reading The Night Circus, which is really good so far (but I'm only about 100 pages in). I'll let you know how that goes!
As for my punishment: This is what I watched this week!
~Lots of Northernlion. So much Nothernlion. Andrew and I watch his Lets Plays of The Binding of Issac and the Northernlion Live Super Show, which features my internet boyfriend, Nick (Rockleesmile).
~I got into planner decorating this week? (WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME) I'll just leave this playlist here but my favorite video is the June Plan with Me.
~I played so much Tsum. All the Tsum Tsum. I need a time stop Tsum, a Bambi tsum, and a rabbit Tsum to complete my bingo cards. I'm getting VERY annoyed haha.
~ I watched Monsters U and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. Cloudy w/ a Chance 2 is probably one of my favorite animated films and that kills my Disney heart a little bit. I am embarrassed to tell you how many times I've watched this film. And I laugh like it's the first time EVERY. DAMN. TIME. The bus driver gets me.
Except wait, one more thing. Next week we will have posted to Plaintartsss for a YEAR. WHATTHEDAMNHELL. I'm so mushy every time I think about it.
Hi Steffi, this post comes to you in three parts. And will probably make you think I've gone slightly overboard.
Part 1: LIFE IS BETTER WITH LESS STUFF. I'm on a constant mission to make our life less cluttered. I hate when every possible surface is covered in stuff. We have too much. I watched missglamorazzi's living with less video and although I already try to do this occasionally, it inspired me to really want to go through the whole house. The less I have the easier it is to clean, relax, and focus on the important things. If something isn't directly causing us happiness, there's really no reason to have it. This also means we have to stop getting stuff. Grayson and I are very lucky to have what we have. But owning a house doesn't mean we need to fill it with everything! I want to be more conscious of what we bring home because if it doesn't have a place, its place becomes the kitchen counter. And I HATE when things are on the kitchen counter.
Part 2: THE PLAN. I went through my closet last week and filled a bag of clothes for donation. I should have had before pictures, I mean really. Anyway, I'm going to make my way around the house making donate piles, throw away, and reorganize piles. It helps to tackle just one area at a time or you'll get exhausted real fast. I like to ask myself when I'm deciding on keeping something, "Does this make me happy?" It's pretty easy to get rid of things after that. I'll be instagraming all the stuff I'm getting rid of so you can see the mountain of excess stuff we have. Part of this process does include us getting a few more things, but they are things that will make us happy and add value to our lives. Like getting a full size bed for our spare bedroom so our friends and family can visit us and not have to sleep on a futon ;). I have to make room for the bed first, but you see how this will work. Getting rid of the excess so we can be happier with less and add things of value.
Part 3: PUNISHMENTS. As you saw last night on instagram, I am
torturing myself by attempting to beat the evil gold blob boss on Pikmin 3. I've killed about 200 pikmin so far and have already spent 5 days. Grayson was pretty amused by my constant gasps, screams, and whining. I'll play it every night this week until I beat it! You truly are the worst.
Hello Keddahbean,
This past weekend I went to Disneyland and I bought TOO many pins. But you know what? This was my birthday gift to me. Here are my pins!
Hi Kara!
Since my post earlier this week was miserable – imma tell you what I did this morning!
First: I made these adorable little Baymax Oreos.

Is Eminem Waging War with the Reigning Queen of LGBT?
Eminem may want to think twice about his public homophobia from here on out. Upon his elevation to superstardom, Eminem became known amongst the most controversial rappers for his slander against pop artists and the gay community.

The Way Home for NYC's Homeless
BRC has a proven track record in providing crucial services.
I found an amazing organization whose reach and affects helped thousands of New Yorkers.
I remain enthusiastically supportive of the continued commitment of the BRC staff.
BRC is a leader.
We all have a responsibility to our fellow citizens who are less fortunate than ourselves.
The voice of BRC is as an innovative advocate.
It is a privilege to contribute to the work of BRC.
BRC delivers on its mission to provide a hand up, not a hand out.
Make the world a better place by helping people help themselves.
There's a burning need in our community for the services BRC provides.
To help the homeless of NYC benefits every New Yorker.
I am deeply impressed by the compassion and commitment of all of the staff.
While more people are working, wages aren't rising fast enough to keep pace with the cost of living
At BRC we are constantly evolving to meet our clients ever-changing needs.
Lack of affordable housing options for low-income individuals is one of New York City's most defining challenges.
Having developed housing, we began to wonder if there was a way to cut out the middleman and turn the City's need for shelter into a way to also solve the housing crisis.
BRC pioneered development of the "Safe Haven" program — a safer, more supportive, lower-stress alternative to traditional shelters.
More than 400 people have gone through the doors of this 20-room safe haven since 2008. 200 clients have been successfully placed in permanent housing.

Marco Rubio leads smear campaign against anti-amnesty groups FAIR, NumbersUSA, and CIS (Mario Lopez, Alfonso Aguilar) - 02/14/13

Utah to start own "guest" worker program, collaborating with Mexican government; Shurtleff; HB466 - 03/02/11
Utah is pushing to start their own state-level guest workers program, and they hope to work with the Mexican government (specifically the state of Nuevo Leon) to do it. This program will almost assuredly reduce wages for Americans in that state, it will probably lead to more illegal immigration (due to the network effect), and it will probably also lead to more mixed status families (i.e., Mexican citizen parents and U.S. citizen children). Their first step is a bipartisan bill (HB466) sponsored by state senator Curt Bramble and state representative [Stephen Sandstrom and promoted by Utah...
Lamar Smith might be weak on immigration (GOP DREAM Act?) - 12/24/10
Carrie Budoff Brown of Politico offers "Lamar Smith avoids hard line on immigration" [1]. Because we're dealing with definitions of those who aren't trustworthy (such as Brown), it's difficult to tell whether Smith will be weak on immigration matters or whether he just won't support nonsensical "boob bait for Bubba" policies. Smith's first two hearings as head of the House Judiciary Committee will be about eVerify. However: At the same time, he downplayed the key planks in the conservative immigration agenda... He won't say when his committee plans to tackle birthright citizenship, the policy...
"Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles": pro-amnesty, pro-guest worker fantasy from Robert George - 02/22/10
Robert George of Princeton University, former George W Bush official Alfonso Aguilar, and Alejandro Chafuen (see this) are the founders of the "Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles" (latino-partnership.org), an outgrowth of George's American Principles Project. See this for a recent WSJ article involving their efforts to promote comprehensive immigration reform, aka amnesty. They say that their group "promotes conservative values and ideals within the Latino community and works to integrate Latinos into fuller and more active participation and leadership in the conservative movement...
Republicans to push amnesty (Jeb Bush, Ed Gillespie, Robert George, George P. Bush) - 02/22/10
Peter Wallsten of the Wall Street Journal offers the misleading "GOP's Demographic Wager: Wooing Latino Candidates" (link). Much could be said about the false assumptions that Wallsten and those quoted make, but I'll save that for another time and just summarize who's involved: Some high-profile Republicans are adopting a softer vocabulary on immigration and trying to recruit more Hispanic candidates, a response to the party's soul-searching about tactics that many strategists believe have alienated the country's fastest-growing voter bloc... In Texas, George P Bush, the half Mexican-American...
USCIS Task Force on New Americans releases "Building an Americanization Movement for the Twenty-first Century" - 12/21/08
In 2006, George W Bush tasked the USCIS with creating a Task Force on New Americans to spend a lot of time and effort looking into assimilation of immigrants and related topics. Now, they're released their final report, "Building an Americanization Movement for the Twenty-first Century" (summary link, PDF available in the sidebar at that page). It's 65 pages, so a full treatment won't be offered. However: 1.

Alfonso Aguilar/U.S. Office of Citizenship promotes "guest" workers (LULAC, NALEO connection) - 02/12/07
The "U.S. Office of Citizenship" was created a few years ago and is part of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The first and current head of the Office, Alfonso Aguilar, was appointed by president Bush in 2003. His biography reveals that he's a member of two highly questionable groups. (Go to uscis.gov and search, or enter this: preview.tinyurl.com/2948hx) The first group is LULAC, the League of United Latin American Citizens. If that group has ever opposed illegal immigration, I'm not aware of it. The other group is NALEO, the National Association of Latino Elected and...

Chicago is forecasted to break the record for longest stretch of snowless days on Monday.
"We're from Illinois so we'll take what we can get," joked a woman walking through the Christkindlmarket on Sunday.
So far this year, Chicagoans have received 280 days of no snow accumulation and unseasonably warm temperatures. The number of days ties the record set in 1994 and is on track to set a new record Monday.
All that stands in the way of setting a new record is a tenth of an inch of accumulated snow.
A chance for flurries and snowflakes are on tap for Monday, but widespread accumulating snow is not anticipated, according to the National Weather Service. Additionally, temperatures in the lower and mid-30's during the day will mostly likely melt any snow accumulations quickly.
The last time the Chicago area saw a "measurable amount" of snow was on March 4, when three-tenths of an inch accumulated.
While many are enjoying the unseasonably warm weather, some were hoping to see snow by now.
"We planned this trip months ago thinking we were going to come and see the snow in Chicago," said a woman from Texas.
After Monday, snow is a no show in the five day forecast. Be sure to enjoy it if a record is set tomorrow, because it may be awhile before Chicago enjoys this kind of break from the cold and snow again.
Chicago Poised to Break Snowless Record
The Windy City is seeing one of the warmest first weeks of December
Chicago is forecasted to break the record for longest stretch of snowless days on Monday.
