The Windy City

Chicago, where I am from, is called “the Windy City”. In the winter a cold wind blows off Lake Michigan and it snows a lot. The temperature gets very cold, sometimes below zero.

In the spring, the weather is great. It’s warm and snow melts. People plant gardens and start to play outdoor sports like baseball.

In the summer, it’s hot and sometimes humid. People swim and turn on their air-conditioners to keep cool. Sometimes it rains or we get thunderstorm.
