The windy city...La ciudad del viento

Antes de venir a Chicago todo el mundo nos decia que veniamos a la "ciudad del viento". Desde entonces, ha habido varios dias en los que el viento soplaba bastante fuerte, pero nada muy sorprendente, hasta que hoy y especialmente durante la pasada noche, el viento ha soplado como nunca habia oido en mi vida.
Hemos sido bastante afortunados en cuanto al tiempo por aqui, el verano fue muy bueno y las temperaturas han sido agradables casi hasta diciembre. Luego empezo a nevar y a bajar la temperatura, la semana pasada llegamos a los -10 C, pero no se estaba muy mal. Esta semana la temperatura no ha estado nada mal, alrededor de -3 C y subiendo hasta 0 C. Las previsiones para manana son de casi -16 C, asi que ya os contare que tal lo llevo :))
Esta manana he hecho un video donde trato de captar el sonido que hace el viento, no hemos podido casi abrir las ventanas porque habia muchisima corriente y ademas, la nieve esta volando. Durante la noche parecia que estaban tirando cubos de agua contra nuestras ventanas, madre mia!
Ahora mismo hay nieve, muy fina pero hay una gran ventisca que esta empeorando por momentos, menos mal que solo tengo libre el domingo y puedo estar en casa calentita :)
Espero que podais apreciar el viento con el video que he hecho y ya sabeis: al mal tiempo, buena cara :)

Before coming to Chicago everyone told us we were going to the windy city. Since then, there have been many days with a very strong wind, but nothing really shocking for us. Today it is not like that and especially during the night, the wind has been blowing really, really strong, probably the strongest wind I've ever seen...
We've been very lucky here with the weather. The summer was very nice and the temperatures have been very normal almost until December. Then it became colder and colder and it started snowing. Last week the temperatures dropped to -10 C and we also had snow and ice. This last week it was not so cold, around -3 C and even going up to 0 C. The weather forecast for tomorrow is slightly colder...with max of - 7 C and minimum of -16 C, let's see...
I've made a movie from our window today in the morning trying to catch the noise of the wind, I don't know if you can really appreciate it. We couldn't almost open the windows because there were too strong winds and also, the snow is very thing and the wind is making it fly :)
During the night I felt as if someone were throwing buckets of water against our windows, hehe!
The blizzard is getting worse and worse and I'm happy I don't work on Sundays and I can stay warm and nice at home :). As we say in Spain: "al mal tiempo, buena cara" (if the weather is bad, show your best face), more applicable to a bad period of time, but also for the weather.
Let's keep positive always! :)
