I felt a bit like a cheater. I lived in the Chicago area for ten years, and was actually writing my chapter from my Sister's house in Indianapolis. I had quite the head start.

I had to Google to check the weather. I hope I didn't get that part wrong...

Lucky you! But I did a Novel In A Day a couple of years ago which was based on A Christmas Carol and set in London, so I had an advantage then.
Did you like living in Chicago? It looks like an amazing city and I’ve learned so much about it online and from YouTube in the last 24 hours.

I used Google to check the weather, too! Found out it snows a lot in Chicago, and it’s windy. But I knew that from that Doris Day song. I put some snow in the story — didn’t want to waste the research after staying up half the night!

For a while I lived just north of Chicago in southern Wisconsin. My memory of Chicago in winter is horizontal icicles! It’s hard to think of a more emphatic way of showing why it is known as the Windy City.
