huh???
st. louis gets more annual precipitation than chicago does, and i would hardly call chicago a "semi-arid" climate.
STL annual average precipitation: 41.7"
MDW annual average precipitation: 40.9"

the conventional definition for "semi-arid" is places that get between 10 - 20 inches of precipition per year.
no place on or east of the mississippi qualifies by that definition.
