Thanks for your comment. I will continue to spend my time focused on the issue rather than respond to this or any of your previous or future personal attacks.

Damn Tom, do you even rise to your own ridiculously high bar of what is good enuf?Maybe you should move to Colorado & have a joint or two in the morning & chill.
Wow, this thread has 225 responses. Lots of different opinions. Luckily I have thick skin to brush off the "less than polite" responses. On the plus side it looks like the bad weather is reducing the high rate of bike thefts.
Actually, looking at this forecast for tomorrow
Weather Condition III:
Winds up to 48 knots (55 mph/89kph),
Wind chill down to -75 degrees F (-59 degrees C), and
Visibility over 1/4 mile (402 meters).
Unrestricted travel and activity are allowed.
I'm wondering why more people aren't complaining about the Divvy closure tomorrow. If these people have no restrictions in conditions way worse than we do, why can't divvy and half the city just stay open?
Do you need a hug?

Hence my sarcasm meter on 11. This is the first winter for Divvy & bike share in general. Instead of griping on a forum that will acvomplish nothing, maybe folks should be writing in to then with constructive criticism or recomendations for remedies. Because otherwise they really do sound like a bunch of privileged & entitled upper middle class cis gender white people weather they are or not. Just a thought.
Here's a place to see school closures and such at a glance.
Every school nearby me that I could think of is closed tomorrow.
Encouraging news from NYC:

Drumroll, please... 6,669 #citibike trips were taken yesterday, when the temp dropped to 4°F in NYC (a 118-yr record for Jan 7). Well done!
It is encouraging, but if you're trying to draw some comparison between NYC and Chi on this, it isn't working. They had snow last week, but then the temperature rose and it rained leaving cold days with clean streets. It's a lot easier to battle cold without snow sludge.
