    Chicago, that famous tropical paradise. Seriously. All the experts say so.

    It’s 9-degrees in Chicago as I write this (or, as The Weather Channel puts it oh-so-cheerily, “It feels like -12!”).

    So why does a certain travel website suggest freezing New Yorkers should check-out a “Sunny Getaway” to the City-of-Big-Shoulders? (Thanks, Upgrade: Travel Better).

    But wait, there’s more: CNN runs a loony AP article on how tourists gush about the glories of Chicago in winter time.

    Gush! But wait, it gets better!

    Just click “more” and see for yourself.

    What else? Oh, yeah, USA Today decides it’s time for “Ten Tips for Chicago Tourists.”

    Their tip #2 says, don’t worry about the seasons: “life in the heart of winter darkness goes on.” Well, except for those freezing to death.

    Not sure where I stand? Here ya go: I think winter in Chicago is every bit as wonderful as summer in Chicago.
