We made it, Chicago.

After a winter for the record books, endless snow that massed 80 inches, and measurable snow on the ground for 52 straight days, we've entered spring. Or at least we can enjoy spring-like temperatures Sunday and Monday.

Don't box up your scarves just yet, though. It's going to drop to the low 40s by Tuesday.
