Most looking forward to in spring: Biking and running by the beach.
One thing you've always wanted to do in Chicago but haven't: Rent a boat for the day or jet-ski on the lake!

Thoughts on Chicago winter so far: I actually like a good cold snap. Chistkindlemarket would have been a lot better with some heavy snow too. Also, no snowboarding this year. This winter was pretty depressing.
