    SPRING doesn’t officially begin for more than three weeks, but it came early to Chicago this week, with temperatures hitting a pleasant 74 degrees Fahrenheit (23 degrees Celcius) on Tuesday (Feb 27) afternoon.

    Spring then quickly turned to summer, with severe thunderstorms slamming the area Tuesday night, bringing hail and reported tornadoes. Then winter returned on Wednesday morning, skipping fall, as the mercury plunged into the 20s, with icy winds and snow flurries.

    Just a totally normal 24 hours in February.
