Yes , the Sears tower was once the tallest in the world.
From 1974- 1998

Then the Petronas Towers in Malaysia, followed by Taipei 101 and then Burj Khalifa.
Chicago is not called the Windy City because of wind. It’s a reference to politicians back in the 30’s or 40’s who were considered long-winded.
I think the joke might have been that the politicians were so long winded they were causing the high amounts of wind in the city.
No, sorry, it dates from the Columbian Exposition (World's Fair) of 1892-3.
19th Century
@@robertschwartz4810 Exactly! I was going to say the same thing. The fight between the mayors of Chicago and New York...
Turning the clocks back or ahead is all about having daylight to function in. It no longer affects me because I'm retired and will forevermore make my own schedule. LOL
It also meant a great deal for cities whose street lamps relied on oil and later gas to operate, meaning that it was also a cost-saving measure back in the day.
Changing the clock has no bearing on how many hours of daylight are in a day.
@@1perfectpitch Right? Why don't people who need the daylight change their schedules rather than everyone changing their clocks?
The Sears Tower (or Willis Tower), was the world's tallest building from 1974-1998, when the Petronas Towers in Malaysia took the record.
It is also no longer the tallest building in the United States after it was ruled that One Freedom Tower's spire counts towards the height since it is a permanent fixture.
And Petronas did that by a technicality. The part they counted wasn't occupyable and they said the radio towers on the Sears didn't count.
@@whispermason8052 yea, sears tower ftw lol
A few facts from a Chicagoan:
• Chicago is a city in the state of Illinois. The southern part of the state borders Kentucky, a very southern state. The northern part borders Wisconsin a very northern state. Chicago is more north than south.
• The Sears Tower was once the tallest building in the world. Some countries started extending their antenna and claimed they were taller but it was only the antenna. Now more buildings are taller.
• Daylight savings time was important when the world was agrarian. Think how early farm chores needed to happen.
• Cars may slip and slide on snow but I never have. Boots and shoes grip the snow. Ice is what makes me fall. And 8 inches doesn't sound like much snow after you've measured in in feet.
• I don't suffer seasonal effective disorder and never heard about it until I lived in Minnesota.
• Chicago has diverse ethnicities. There's a large population of people from Irish descent and when I was growing up the long-term Mayor was one. Thus, the much ado about St. Patrick's Day. It was also once said that the only city in the world with a larger population of people with Polish descent than Chicago was Warsaw.
The clocks used to be changed to give more sunlight in the mornings for kids to help on the farms before going to school.
BINGO!
It is a common myth in the United States that DST was first implemented for the benefit of farmers. In reality, farmers have been one of the strongest lobbying groups against DST since it was first implemented. Most people think Daily Savings Time has something to do with farmers. DST was a wartime measure for seven months during World War I in the interest of adding more daylight hours to conserve energy resources. Year-round DST, or "War Time", was used again during World War II. DST was enacted for the winter of 1974 by Nixon during the energy crisis but it was repealed again. It's really retailers that fight to keep it around now. Especially the candy industry believe it or not...Halloween is big business

My husband lived in Iowa & managed factory workers. He had to schedule workers who also owned farms around the sun schedule so they could farm early & work in the factory later. They had their kids working with them.
@@Kenneth_James correct
There is a condition call "SAD" - Seasonal affective disorder, "a type of depression that's related to changes in seasons - SAD begins and ends at about the same times every year. If you're like most people with SAD , your symptoms start in the fall and continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody."
Chicago IS windy, but the reason it's called the windy city is because of all the hot air that the politicians are full of... if you do visit Chicago on your trip (I'm still up for being your personal tour guide) only come in summer.... best summer city in the world. And you don't want the children walking home from school in pitch black darkness so I kind of understand the time switch.
The “Windy City” was a derisive term coined by New York newspaper columnists about the 1893 Columbian Exposition
I find it so funny that many people don’t know this.
@ 4.02 Kabir: "Wow, so Chicago gets cold?"
LMFAO!!!!!!!!
He knows how to describe the snow here in the middle of the United States.
I’m in southern Illinois, Christmas weekend it was -7, windchill-30. Today it’s like 58, it feels like Spring. I think you guys have the saying “if you don’t like the weather, just wait a few minutes”, well I think we can say that as well.
I woke up and heard the birds chirping today and figured they are as confused as the rest of us lol. I just figure this February and March are going to be brutal!
I'm from Central Oklahoma, but I am currently living in Southern Lower Michigan, and we go by that saying. If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes. It'll change.
I am in southern illinois also. I loved how it felt out today, but it was just crappy as far as the clouds making it look like it was gonna rain all day!&
We say the same thing in Cleveland, just stick around for a bit, you'll get weather you like.
It’s almost 60 degrees in Chicago right now, which naturally means it will be cold & snowing by the end of the week. 😵💫
39 in Carrollton (Saginaw) Michigan
It's gonna b an ugly winter
70 degrees in southern Illinois
@@christinadavis8067 jealous
30 in Northeastern Minnesota and it's been snowing all day and will until Thursday
That sounds amazing! Right now it’s 11 degrees and with windchill it feels like -4.
We won’t have temperatures above 35 until late March or April.
I am a Native New Yorker who has spent the first fifty years living in Brooklyn and Staten Island. I attended a weekend conference in Chicago many years ago. I quickly found out that New York City cold is NOT the same as Chicago cold! I have NEVER been that cold in my life. Thanks for the reminder, Kabir 🤓
I've lived in Chicago for 15 yrs after growing up in California. The first few months I was here I met two guys who grew up in NYC and they said the same thing: NY gets cold but Chicago gets SCARY cold.
Chitown is built directly on the shores of a massive Great Lake in the heart of the Midwest. With enough wind the cold becomes unbearable. A few weeks ago during a blizzard I found myself sprinting to and from the corner store just to escape the cold sooner.
Mostly true, but parts of the Great Plains of Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota are worse.
During some winters, you can go out to pee, and freeze to death.
@@kennethcook9406 no indoor plumbing yet?
@@A_Name_ No, when camping you incompetent fool.
Really, can't people read between the lines anymore?
@@kennethcook9406 first of all, it's a joke. I can explain what that if you need me too. Secondly, dying because you thought it would be fun to go hang out in nature when it's bla bla bla below zero makes said person a next level idiot. Last but not least, you can pee inside the tent you spent way to much money on and decided you just had to use when the weather makes it a bad idea.
Have a nice day and gl.
@@A_Name_ Clearly you've never been in the Scouts or the Military.
Camping in sub-zero temps are par for the course.
AND IT AIN'T NO DAMN JOKE!
So please shut your pie-hole before you put your foot in it again.
Kabir. I suggest that when you come to the US you get out of the cities and into some rural areas. Fly over country, which is basically the Midwest, has many interesting places. Visiting a farm during planting or harvest could be very eye opening. Most people don’t realize the way farming is done today is vastly different than what it is pictured as in children’s books and on TV and movies.
Being in rural America isn't the best idea for a black man, even now.
Visiting Chicago in the winter can be brutal if you aren’t prepared but if you enjoy the holiday season it’s a gorgeous time to be here. It’s very festive and plenty of holiday things to see and do like the market he mentioned but even Christmas around the world! I would say summer and fall are still great times to come though because even though it’s hot, it’s festival season! Music, food, you name it! If it exists there’s probably a festival happening for it lol
11:17 I am from the Twin Cities (Minnesota) and 8 inches is certainly not enough to stay home from work, etc! Same goes with 25 or 30 below zero fahrenheit!
Several years back I discovered if I go tanning in the winter months, even if it's only once a week, I can fight off SAD because even with artificial light you can get that same boost of sunlight we're not getting outside. I feel much happier when I do.
His Chicago accent is perfect.
I love Lost in the Pond. LITP actually has its roots in the BBC America. They used to produce a series of short videos that were similar to Lawrence's content for their RUclips channel called Anglophenia. Lawrence was one of the people who worked on it.
Chicago was nicknamed the “Windy City”, because of all the hot air coming out of Politicians Mouth’s.
That cold snap we had a few years ago. Was the coldest I’ve ever seen it. It got down to -26 F in the suburbs. An a old co-worker of mine said back in the 50’s. It got so cold, all the tires on his and neighbor’s cars all popped.
Edit: You think 8 inches is a lot. You should look up the storm of ‘67 in Chicago. 23 inches…
8 inches of snow is nothing. Where I live in Maine we average 70 inches a year. Althouogh we have barely gotten any snow this year and has been in the 40s and even 50s for many days.
8 inches In Chicago , means more across the lake ( Lake Michigan ) we in Michigan get Lake Effect snow which doubles your few inches to feet - yippee !! Winters end is usually on or about Mothers Day in mid-May in Michigan which includes the frozen spring rains which sometimes is frozen slush but wet 😀 we love all seasons but really love the end of winter the most
As a Buffalonian, I feel this one.
@@unklebacon44, I live at the other end of Lake Erie. I know what you mean.
I think Chicago has the best snow removal system from the roads in the world. I'll grant you all that I haven't been outside the US but been to 48 states. The City of Chicago has well over 300 snow plows. I lived there when they had 26" of snow in 24 hours and everyone went on with pretty much like they normally do like it was almost nothing.
We just had a brief thunderstorm, complete with hail, move through here. 35 miles north of Chicago. 40 degrees F today. Just before Christmas it was -12 F. Crazy.! Yes, the Bean is awesome.
Jim Cantore always gets freaked out by thunder snow. He obviously didn’t live in Chicago.
The wind off the Great Lakes is wicked and Chicago sits on Lake Michigan. In the Midwest, we call it “lake effect snow.”
Here in Chicago we have a few states to the west that are flatter then a 5 year old skateboard - so absolutely nothing slowing the wind down for a few thousand miles or so. It does get windy.
8 inches, a lot of snow? 🤣 I've seen 3 feet over night.
Chicago is in the northern part of Illinois. Illinois is a very long state. The southern part is quite a bit warmer and that’s probably why you didn’t see Chicago mentioned.
Chicago, while actually quite windy, was dubbed the Windy City because of its glib politicians. While the Sear Tower is taller, the John Hancock building has the loveliest view as it looks out over both the city and the lake (Lake Michigan). Fun fact: The Bean is formally named Cloud Gate. Eight inches of snow is manageable because the city has the infrastructure to deal with it. But January and February can see temps as low as -25, and that's before the wind chill effect. I like it except when I'm standing and waiting for a bus or L (elevated train). If you come to visit, just be sure to dress for the weather - and always ask locals ahead of time where to go and what to do so you can truly experience the city and its neighborhoods - while avoiding tourist traps.
Yup Arizona has never observed Daylight Savings Time. The exception in Arizona is the Navajo Reservation which also spans Utah and New Mexico which do observe DST. We normally have enough sunshine and heat without messing with time.
I remember the winter of 78 I live in Chicago at that time, it got to -80° that was with the wind chill of course And that was the only time that the state of Illinois shut down otherwise they don't shut down for s***. I got shoved out of a second floor window with a shovel to try to find the door we didn't have snow blowers 🤣🤣🤣 making tunnels was fun and igloos that was really fun we were kids
Coming to you from the suburbs of Chicago!!! Right now our winter has actually been really warm compared to what I remember 10-15 years ago. We had the most snow a few weeks ago, but that was nothing compared to what I remember. Yesterday it was gray/rainy and today has a high of 42 F or 5.5 C according to my phone which is pretty good.
I don't remember the actual temperature at the time, but I've experienced -17° to -20° or -30° windchill. One thing that me and my friends would do while walking to the school from the bus stop, was to walk backwards into the wind.
*Chicago born & raised!
Say around 45 degrees latitude, without Daylight Saving, we'd have the sun rising around 4:30 am instead of 5:30 am at the start of Summer and setting around 8:00 pm instead of 9:00 pm. So without DST you're throwing away 1 entire hour of daylight every day, because the vast majority of people are not up anywhere near that early, but do stay up later. But if we made Daylight Saving permanent, then at the start of Winter, instead we'd have the sun up from around 9:00 am to 5:30 pm instead of 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. Now, neither of those is ideal, because there just isn't enough daylight no matter how you shift it around, but for kids going to school, it would be more darkness. You could have school start later, but still, not having the sun come up until 9:00 am is pretty bad, and whether sunset is 4:30 or 5:30 pm, either way, it's not like you're going to have much daylight around the end of school or work. So, I figure setting the clocks twice a year is a pain, but it does give us the best range of daylight.
Christmas weekend starting Friday it was -9f that’s 41 degrees below freezing with windchills at -50,Saturday Christmas Eve day it was -8f windchills,Christmas Day it reached 8f above zero with -15f windchills.Then one week later Friday December 30th it was 58f,News Year Eve 60f,New Years Day 60f today Tuesday January 3rd it’s 66f,we say only in Indiana can you have a 70degree temperature change in just a few days.The seven day forecast says next Tuesdays high will be 30f which is about normal if not just a little warmer usually low 20’s are normal high for this time of year.
1) Several people have commented on the origin of Chicago's nickname "The Windy City." After a quick google search, it would appear to definitely or possibly derive from both the weather and long-winded politicians.
2) Daylight saving time was first implemented on a national level in Germany during World War One as a way to conserve coal. Many of the other warring nations followed, including the U.S.
I can't believe you were a teacher. Teacher asked if American does daylight saving after Lawrence just talk about time change in point number 1.
I've lived in Chicago, Colorado and Maine. The place I feel winter the most is Maine. Icy snow, artic winds, deep deep temps (currently 12/14/23 it is 18 F and it's not gotten cold yet,) long season, and very short days are the primary reasons.
Word on the street say TX is doing away with clock shifting. Benjamin F is to blame. Even in his time, how having more dark time in the winter saves energy, baffles me 🤪
Daylight Saving time was Originally so farmers could have more time to work in the field , also more daylight means less electricity for lightbulb use.,. generally

In reality, farmers have been one of the strongest lobbying groups against DST since it was first implemented. Most people think Daily Savings Time has something to do with farmers.

I thought we should not go from Daylight to regular time, until I experienced when it`s pitch black outside, and the little children are dashing about at the bus stop.
It was for the farmers to keep track of harvesting planting so you would spring forward and fall back
Yes until 1998 it was the tallest building in the world. In high school my classes started at 7:30 am. I lived 1 1/2 hours away by bus so I would liver very early in the morning dark leaving, dark coming home.
5:50 - you do know that the sun doesn't set at the same exact time of the day throughout the year right? The setting it back and forward is to keep it more lined up despite the changes.
Daylight saving is just that gives you more time of sunlight to enjoy and do more things in the evening with light. Extended daylight in the spring and summer for beach, park and cookouts...ps I can imagine how cold winter is. I was there in August and the temp drop to 40 degrees.
In the Salt Lake Valley near Salt Lake City you get what is called the Lake effect...meaning extreme enough cold with no relief for weeks at a time or if the temperatures rise enough to create snow...yes it can become too cold to create snow and it will...one time growing up I lived in an area that there was too much cold... it was my job to shovel our walkways so my younger siblings and myself could get to school...I always did our and our next door neighbors...they were elderly and did not need the extra exertion... the neighbors just beyond that were capable but chose not to shovel their walk across the front of their property ( no thi is omitting to be known if we lived 1 house over literally a
I love Chicago, we live a couple hours away and love visiting. The sears tower was once the tallest building.
Chicago is called the windy city because around 1900 the Chicago politicians used to talk a lot of sh*t. New York politicians didn't go for that and they said that Chicago politicians are full of wind. And that's how Chicago became the windy city. If you you really want to see a windy city go to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Every time that I've been there the wind was blowing a gale. Most of the time I think that Chicago is too warm in winter. It'll snow maybe 6-8 inches. That's wonderful. But it won't stay cold enough to keep the snow frozen. In a few days the snow will turn into slush and water and your feet will never be dry. That's why I like winter in northern Wisconsin and the UP in Michigan. Everything stays frozen no slush. And the snow that they get in November will probably last until March. Chicago being too cold is a lot of hype. Sometimes Chicago can get a little chilly. I like it when it's below zero the riff raff and the criminals think that it's too cold to go outside. I think it's safer when it's below zero. But below zero is tough on the homeless. One stretch they were predicting 15-20 below zero. I was at the junkyard so I had my greasy junkyard jacket on the backseat. I came back to my car to find the window broken. I was pissed!!! The only thing that was taken was my greasy junkyard jacket. I figured that a homeless person needed a jacket and saw mine on the backseat and decided to smash my window and take it. I wasn't mad that they stole my jacket. I figured that they needed it more than I did. I was pissed because they broke my window and driving on the highway without a window when it's 15-20 below zero it can get pretty chilly. If the person wanted the jacket all that they had to do was ask me for it and it would have been theirs. Saving me a broken window and freezing from way below zero wind chills on the highway.
The Sears tower was the tallest building in the world for over 20 years. Minneapolis, Minnesota gets way colder than Chicago and Anchorage, Alaska.
Chicago is the coldest of the biggest major cities in the US. 8 inches of snow is nothing here, we are used to much more than that. Our streets are plowed, and salted when it snows. The Bean is an art piece named Cloud Gate, but here in Chicago we just call it the bean. The overhead train is called The L. Chicago is a very windy city at times, but it is called that because of boastful Chicago politicians back in the late 1800s boasting about Chicago to the nation, but like I said we do get very windy. Chicago has been voted the best big city in the US six times in a row by readers of Conde Nast Traveler Magazine. Plus it was voted 2nd best city in the world behind only Edinburgh, Scotland. Visitors love it here. The food scene is the best in the country. You'll have a blast. Oh. No ketchup on hot dogs here unless you're under 12. On your fries?....well, ok.
🎼🎶 We like our dogs with mustard & relish . . .
Daylight savings was implemented to have more daylight in the afternoon for shopping and activities.
This past Christmas was cold here at 10F in Atlanta. I saw it get down in the 40 in Miami over Christmas. We are back in the high 60's now.
Last week it was below Zero degrees for days. Now it's in the 40s. Never a dull moment in Chicago! However, it does get windy in Chicago, like the song, "The wind comes sweeping down the plains". BUT, we're called "The Windy City" because of politicians' hot air, (Dating from the World's Fair of 1892-3), not the weather!
Sorry, have to add the snow is not cleared daily. After the initial clearing people are expected to watch out.
Chicago winters are not necessarily colder than other cities at the same latitude, and in fact, the lake keeps it a little warmer. We are called the Windy City because some New York reporter back in the day felt we were boastful. Sears was the largest building in the world for a while.
Moving time forward and backward is for scheduling purposes, so that times stay almost as bright as they are usually. It was originally a train thing because most people got their time by reading the sun, so times changed around the changes in the sunlight patterns.

I like when it’s randomly 70 degrees in January
I'm about 8 hrs northeast of Chicago
Saginaw Michigan
Midwest/mideast gets hit hard w cold weather
@Kabir you have the US to thank for Time Zones and why we turn clocks up and back. For when trains here in the US started carrying passengers they needed away to make time relaven from the begining destination to the end. At least that is my best way to explain. The other way is look up the history of passenger trains in the US and it explains it a lot better.
In Montana it is not unusual to have all Four Seasons in one day. Starts out nice, rains like its spring, winds blow in the cold and rain turns to snow then suddenly it is summer again! Happens all the time
During the American Civil War there was a Prisoner of War camp on the South Side. One of the Confederate prisoners is said to have exclaimed: "How do people LIVE in such a cold climate?"
Chicago native, now living in Michigan. The wind that blows across Lake Michigan can be brutal....second only to Lake Superior (the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, S.S. Kamloops [where the corpse of Old Whitey can be seen with the underwater wreck], and the Christmas tree ship where the wind and water duo took 'em down). It is also said that Chicago got the nickname 'The Windy City' because of the generations of illustrious blowhard windbags that were our politicians, lol!
0 degreesis not unusual in the winter, but I remember it getting down to 40 degrees below Zero on really cold days.
The ice storms that can hit the southeast are sometimes far worse than the buckets of snow the upper midwest can get.
Christmas Eve of 2022 here in West Virginia our windchill was -29 F so yes it gets a little chilly lol
If you come to Illinois, hop on down to Springfield, but take the state routes, not the interstate. So much better and you'll get a feel for what Illinois is really like. Anyway, my hometown is home to Lincoln's Tomb, the Lincoln Home, and Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. If you come in the early/mid part of August, the State Fair is going on. We are also home to the horseshoe (no, not that kind). It's good artery-clogging food that should be tried at least once by every visitor.
the "Windy City" refers to politicians talking around the beginning of the 1900's not so much the actual wind but it can get windy in Chicago
Toronto here, it's +10°C
NY and such definitely get colder and more snow than us. Don't just assume all of Canada is frozen.
It gets cold here lol….I’m in Appleton Wi which is about 3.5 hrs north of Chicago but we pretty much get the same weather. The week of Christmas we were at a temperature of -35 degrees with the windchill. Also for reference, Appleton is 20 mins south of Green Bay 😉
My guess on turning back the clocks is because of where that particular area of the earth has shifted around the sun. Hence why it is only part of the year. The clocks have to be rewound because the earths position orbiting the sun is in an area where it can heat up the earth more or less. Now one could argue but isnt that just what creates the different seasons? My guess is they have sudden speed up or slow down in the progression rotating around the sun. Which is why it needs to wind the clocks back or forward to match it.
A visual example is like how when a toy car is on a slight downward incline it might slowly move down. Once the incline gets more steep the car will fall faster. That incline is the space where the positoon of the sun the earth meet. The car is the earth. The sun is the ground the incline is built upon. Once the incline shifts too much the car/earth speeds up its progress down the incline/around the sun. Same if it were to even out. The car/earth would slow down.
Time would progress for people in vast empty space but they wouldnt be able to tell since there would be nothing to see the time changing in.
Since that time may vary for different parts of the world they change the clocks at different times. For instance, in South Korea the time is 14 hours ahead of eastern pacific standard time which is used in the eastern United States. So 1pm in Eastern United States would be 3am in the morning the next day in South Korea. The reason for that is day and night happen at seperate times due to where the earth is in its rotation and where the sun appearing closest. When the sun is up that part of the earth is facing the sun. When it is night the sun is facing the other side if the earth so not as much light can shine down on us. One day is the cycle the earth has spun around 1 whole time. That takes 24 hours. A lunar eclipse occurs when both turn to have the moon and sun line up in front of the earth where you are. The reason the moon can come out and appear the day is due to how far the moon has moved around us and where we are in the 24 hour spin cycle of the earth. The earth is constantly spinning and rotating around the sun. The moon is constantly rotating around the earth.
Make sense to anyone? I know its a lot to take in and im not very good at explaining things.
8 inches of snow is nothing . our recent storm dropped 50 inches on New York
Parts of New York.
I live in the very center of the state and we only got about 8 inches.
Buffalo is ... different.
NYC got nothing
It’s actually called the Windy City because people there are sooo long winded (they talk a lot). But yes it’s also windy there
LOL we have almost 3 feet of the cold white $H&! outside. Last week it was down to -37 Celsius. Obviousdly I live in one of those places that has a colder winter than Chicago (Wyoming we have more wind too)
Hi I was born and raised in Chicago it absolutely gets so cold we don't even check the weather report anymore. 🥶❄️
We change the clocks for golfers and farmers, so they get more light in the morning
Yep, it was only enacted during times of war when energy was being rationed. Nixon enacted it in 74 for the energy crisis but it was repealed a year later. I dont know when every state but Arizona just started enacting permanent DST.
In Texas about 12 days ago when temperatures across the US plummeted the windchill reach -22⁰C in the city I live in. In another place in Texas the windchill reached as low as -32⁰C.
Yes it was cold as crap!! [I live northeast of Houston] and had a pipe [that was wrapped btw] to burst!! Luckily my brother had supplies to fix it for me though two days later. I'm just glad I didn't lose power this time like I did in the big February freeze last year!
Kabir, speaking of winter, have you heard about the mess in Buffalo, NY and the rest of the North? The amount of snow will make coffee shoot out your nose. The temperatures are something out of a horror movie and some people had to have help from people outside to smash the ice so they could get out of their houses. I'm not kidding!
Srsly, Google images of the ice and snow. It's been called a once in a century event. It will make a great video for your channel, IMHO.
Oh, I've always wanted to tell you that you have the best taste in sweaters, er...jumpers. Love the colors. Just always wanted to say that. Happy New Year!
Daylight savings was to allow farmers (way back in the day) more sunlight to be able to deal with all the work they had instead of having to do it in the dark.
The next leap year is 2024.
The wind chill in the Chicago area can be honestly brutal.
I have experienced places that would get over 100 inches of snow each year and another place that frequently went down to -40F 🥶🥶 Too cold for my blood. 😅
If we did not set the clocks back in winter then we would not see light in the eastern standard time zone until 8am at the shortest day and people worry about sending their kids to school in the dark. It gets dark here about 4:30pm her at the shortest day. And, that is in the eastern most part of the time zone. We turn it ahead in the spring so at the longest day it will be light until about 9pm as it starts getting light about 5am. Sunrise and Sunset depends on where you are located on the time zone.
Yea, Chicago's nickname is the windy city. And the brutal winter wind is called the Chicago hawk.
Here's a fun fact... the last few years we've had snow on the ground or fall as late as MAY... so March and April aren't the guarantees of warner weather they once were 😭😓
It's usually very windy in Chicago plus they get the lake effect winds and snow and cold Chicago is literally right on the edge of one of the great lakes lake Michigan
I'm only 2hours west of there
Arizona does not recognize daylight savings time...however it does change our operating hours...at the place I worked at we added a hour ahead and an hour behind meaning we were opened from 7am to 8 pm..oh we are a jewelery joint... meaning you could very start work in the dark and leave work in the dark which is ok...however the busses quit running after 8 when you get off
Yeah Chicago can get colder than Antarctica at times we’ve d had days where it felt like -50 below within a weeks span we’ve had a 90 degree difference.
One of the great American humorists Jean Shepherd (author of that classic American film A Christmas Story) grew up in Chicago. Jean worked as a radio man and would tell stories on there. One of them is called The Great Indiana Blizzard. It's a longer story (45 min, a handful before he gets into the story). But if you want to know what it's like there during the winter, and to a degree in many snow belt locations within the US, that would be something to listen to. Hilarious and apt description from a kids POV.
Daylight Savings time started 1918 mainly for farmers so they had daylight to bring crops in and children home to helpIt also conserved energy during WW1.. Many states want daylight saving time year round and are passing state laws to keep it. Think of it t his way.." Spring forward (1 hour) Fall back (1 hour)
In Canada, we lose our voice at least once each winter. After -29, you can't catch your breath.
Chicago is a cool city. The silver "jelly bean" is actually a cloud. At least, that's what the artist intended it to be. I hate extreme temps, which why I pay what I do to live on the San Francisco Bay Area. Chicago, Twin Cities, Detroit, Buffalo all have these brutal winters. Daylight Saving Time makes no sense and I wish it would stop. Having sunset at 9pm the majority of the summers means I stay up too late and oversleep at least twice a week.
Chicago is a cool city.
When the sun hasn't set and it's 9 PM, it messes you up. Oh and it's too cold in Chicago! Then too hot! The whole place is awful!
Chicago is not the "Windy City" because of its weather, it was given that name because of the promoters and politicians in the late 1800's who were full of hot air.
The cold in Chicago is like no other I have experienced. It is the lake and the wind that go together that creates these horrid temps. And 8 inches is not a lot of snow lol. I grew up there and now live in TN where they think 2 inches is a lot of snow and 32 degrees is cold. I just laugh
The stages of a So California winter. Heat. drought. Cool. Rain. Panic.
In Nor Cal we’re having floods. So panic over here too.
I've lived in Missouri all my life, and I know for a fact that it could be 90F (32.22C) in the morning and be snowing by 3:00 PM.
Something funny is that my family gets weird looks for eating frozen slushies without gloves when it's -2F (-18.88C) with a wind chill of -15 out. Honestly we still do it when it's lower too, but we have gloves then. It's hilarious when they also see my younger brother in shorts, and I with a lightweight jacket, while we're eating the frozen slushies in said weather conditions.
The talk of the cold weather of Chicago winters are way overblown. Yes, it can be cold, and yes there are snowstorms, and on occasion wind can be quite biting off the lake, but since it is the only supercity in a northern climate, those in New York City and Los Angeles frequently make fun of the idea of Americans who live in Chicago. Chicagoans have become self-deprecating because they can't fight it. It really isn't bad except when the "Hawk" combines with a "Clipper" from the Artic which lasts only two days at most.
Oh, and we go back and forth by an hour in time to maximiza daylight time when people are up and about. There is some backlash now with various state and even the federal legislatures wanting to abolish it, but there seems to be a difference in preferences as to whether we stay on winter time or summer time. I think the US senate wants to stay on winter time. Nothing is being done yet, and as we have a dysfunctional congress right now, I do not anticipate getting rid of the clock change anytime soon.
The days ahead of this past Christmas the Midwest had windchills of - 50 F
In Michigan, we have to put salt on the roads and sidewalks.
