A Blizzard of Numbers
Now, trying to pin down an exact number is like trying to catch snowflakes on your tongue – nearly impossible. Chicago's snowfall is as unpredictable as a Cubs World Series win (wait, let's not jinx it). One year, we're knee-deep in the white stuff, building epic snow forts and complaining about shoveling. The next, we're questioning our life choices for moving to a place where "polar vortex" is a common phrase.

If you’re really into numbers (and honestly, who is?), the National Weather Service has a treasure trove of snowfall data. But let's be real, most of us just want to know if we need to break out the snow boots or not.
