What's that in walking time?

LOL. 5-10 minutes? Don't get me wrong; I do a LOT of walking. (I don't have a car.) But the added walking time plus the inevitably slower service due to the construction along the route means I have to wake up earlier. :(

This is why I'm thinking of taking the commuter train, which is also about a 10 min walk and is much more expensive, but will cut my communting time.

Still, walking 10 minutes anywhere in a Chicago winter is ... character building.

I have to wake up earlier.

That's never good.

The cold, the wind, or both? (10 minutes is my current walk time to the station.)

The cold and the wind combined. They call it windchill.

There is also the small matter of snow.
