Come February in Chicago, city patrons are usually in knee length coats, gloves, scarves, dressed in full winter gear trekking through mounds of snow on the streets just to get from point A to point B. Interestingly enough, this winter has been a little different; the thermometer has been above 32 degrees more often than not and snowflakes are just something seen flying through the air not a frozen inconvenience piled up on street corners.
The mildness of the season should motivate Chicagoans to get up, go out and have fun on the town. And with a city that is constantly moving, there are many places to get the full winter experience, with or without the flurries.
