Hi Barbara!

I live in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago too, and absolutely despise the cold weather here as well! I always threaten to move somewhere warm every winter, but never do it. Still, it's an amazing city---especially in spring and summer.

This really is a great site---alot of great information and advice on here. Wonderful people to!

Welcome to the site and good luck!! [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]
