| How Much Snow Is Illinois Supposed To Get |
But First, a Public Service Announcement:
Do not, under any circumstances, invest in a lifetime supply of rock salt just yet.
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
The weather forecasters are predicting a big fat goose egg for snowfall over the next week. In other words, Illinois is more likely to spontaneously sprout palm trees than experience a blizzard.
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
Here's the Lowdown on That Non-Existent Snow:
Science tells us that snow in May in Illinois is about as common as finding a polite driver on rush hour. While anything is possible (because, hey, it's Illinois!), all signs point to a rainier, slightly cooler week – perfect for breaking out the raincoat and… well, maybe not the swimsuit just yet.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
But Why All the Hype?
The weather machine, like that friend who always exaggerates a story, might have gotten a little carried away. There could have been a rogue flurry in a computer model, a misinterpretation of a celestial tea leaf reading, or maybe a butterfly flapped its wings just right (don't blame the butterflies!). Whatever the reason, rest assured, the only thing getting buried this week is your craving for ice cream (because it's definitely not gonna be under a pile of snow).
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
