My daughter managed (probably because no phone would dare thwart her) to get through to my cell phone last night.  She had tales to tell and threats of possible disconnect did not deter her.

It seems she was walking to the store yesterday and went to cross the street, whereupon the wind blew so hard, it stopped her (and everyone else crossing) in the middle of the street and proceeded to blow her backward. 

She said people in cars waiting for the light to turn were laughing. 

Then she walked into the coffee shop to get something hot to drink, only to find that the metal clasp on her purse had frozen shut on her half mile walk from home.  She had to breathe on it to thaw it out and get it open.  The girl working the register was apparently fascinated, never having seen anyone's purse freeze shut before. 

Chicago at -2 with full on wind gusts of 40+ mph. Gotta love it when the jet stream comes to town. Heh.
