Evenings in Chicago

Chicago has real winters, which is when the cozy index peaks: long dark evenings, cold and rain or snow. Dry heated air is hard on wood frames and canvas; a humidifier helps both the art and the people.

How the score works

We start at 30 and add points for cold, rain on the window, wind outside and dark; bright midday sun takes a few off. A high score is an evening the weather argues for staying in; a low one is porch weather.
