Illinois Weather...ugg..159 days and countng

[KGSB11]

The weather I encountered on my drive home from work today. Need I say anymore??? The Allure seems like an eternity away. Thank you to all who have posted reviews lately as it sure helps.

That looks like Colorado Springs all day...what is even more depressing is Pike's Peak tower over the city was warm and sunny....67 more days for me!

Here in San Jose CA its 74 degrees with mostly sunny skies(:

I live in suburban Chicago, and even though the 10 inches from last week is almost gone, it's been flurrying all day. Our cruise (luckily) is only 11 days away. Can't get out of town fast enough! Wish you could leave sooner, too!

[KGSB11]

Congrats to all of you on your double digit countdowns!

 

Fifi, which suburbs are you from? I live in the far west burbs (DeKalb/Sycamore) and work in Naperville.

Hey, I'm from Princeton Illinois and we're leaving on the Allure in April.

 

I'm sure you will love the Allure--we loved the Oasis!

Hey, at least there is no traffic in that photo. :P I'm in the Chicago suburbs as well, and my commute involved much busier roads.

 

And while I'm thrilled that my next cruise is double digit days away, it's not a warm weather trip...got to wait for November for that one.

 

Enjoy your cruise!

I feel your pain. Lived in Chicago for 11 years before moving to Charlotte NC in 2006. We were primarily in the city, in Old Town (North and Larrabee) and the last 18 months were way out in McHenry County, in Cary. Miss many things about Chicago, but not necessarily the weather. :)

I guess only a Northerner or a Midwestern person could feel your pain :( Luckily we leave in 25 days For fun and sun on the AOS. Good luck with your wait. :):)

Michigans weather isnt any better.....cold/grey/snowy...BUT...my flight leaves at 6am FRI and I'll be on INDY this Sat....WOOOOT!

FWIW, I figure the winter, or at least the really bad stuff, is done. Think positive, like Odd ball said, with all that positive energy we can't lose. ;-)

I feel lucky compared to Michigan's weather; my family has been keeping me posted on the snowfall this season.

We can only hope that the bad stuff is over. :(

I know how you feel , missed our winter getaway because we went in Nov. I'm from Sycamore and we have 305 days to go. Ughhh.

My son in law keeps teasing me cause he's in Atlanta where it's in 60s and 70s already.

With the number of cars on Florida roads I thought everyone but the fire and police department employees were in Florida or some where warm. LOL

Just returned from The Allure and warm sunny Florida to cold and windy and snowy Chicagoland :(. Already looking for a warm weather destination for the Fall!

That 10 minute blizzard was wild to watch ( from the view of my warm comfy couch) thank goodness I have only 10 more days until I reach the warm and comfy view of the port in Ft Lauderdale for our "Allure Take 2"

Also in Sycamore! :) I do apoligize for your long wait ahead of you...though to think I started my countdown at 503 days, 305 is nearly halfway!!!! :D
