love/hate relationship with Chicago, part III

This is totally me. Just kidding, I wish it were. Did I mention that we are staying in Chicago for Christmas. Did I also mention that it has been snowing, well you know the weather has sucked which equals snow and cold. But normally, I really like snow because: snow + mountains = skiing. skiing=ecstasy. Why do I live in a state that has the elevation of a pancake? I don't know what we were thinking when we came here. All I have to say is, I really want to ski, and I'm just feeling sorry for myself.
