The Great Cold Wave after 2 Years
January 22, 2013 morning, the great cold wave came to
Chicago. The temperature was minus 1
officially at O’Hare Airport, but the wind was so strong that the wind chill
was minus 12. The last cold wave in
Chicago was February, 2011.
The sun was shining brightly, so as long as inside a
building no one thought of the cold wave.
Due to this great cold wave 7 people passed away. Some are homeless and others are elderly
people who could feel cold in their heatless house.
Hiroko’s cousin, living at Urahoro, Tokachi, Hokkaido, wrote
that since 2013 New Year it was snowing every day, so snow piled up 60
centimeters (24 inches) for a week. The
temperature also was so cold, it was minus 25C (minus 3F) every day since New
Year. The Coldest Day in this season is
January 20, so this cold wave would be continued for whole month of January, he
wrote. The Northern part of Honshu and
Hokkaido would be covered by snow and the cold wave.
It has been the great drought in Chicago since last summer.
It is a great problem for the Mid-West farmers.
The towns in the opposite side of the Lake Michigan from Chicago have
been experiencing the lake effect now. Hiroko
noticed that the similar weather happened in Hokkaido and Northern part of
Japan would be coming to Chicago.It might hopefully be lots of snow or rain in
Chicago in near future. Pray for lots of
rain or snow in Chicago.
