Yesterday March 17th, 2009 was a record tying weather day in Chicago.  The Chicago metro area recorded a temperature of 74 F degrees high which is a most unusual temperature for this time of year.

Yesterday was a infact the warmest day by far in 5 months and Chicago enjoyed the warmest official St Patricks Day in 115 years.  In fact not since October 13, 2008 when the temperature hit a high of 77 F degrees has the city enjoyed warmer weather.

The question we Chicago based Zoners ask ourselves:

- Is this a pivotal day in the change of our weather or is this a teaser before we get another few months of lovely winter filled weather in Chicago.  That is the $100 question for now.
