Over the last several years, I have noticed an interesting phenomenon as I travel throughout the city:  Skyscrapers create their own micro climates.  Traveling south on Lake Shore Drive toward the John Hancock Center, I sometimes see fog drifting in that pretty much obscures the skyline, only to discover clear skies once I cross North Avenue heading south on LaSalle.
