Chicago: The Windy City or the Snowy City?
Let's talk about the white stuff.
So, you wanna know how much snow Chicago got this week? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because this is about to get deep. Not like the snow, although that was pretty deep too, but you know what I mean.
A Blizzard of Excuses
First off, let’s address the elephant in the room. Or should I say, the snowman in the yard? It’s July, people. July! The month where shorts and ice cream reign supreme. So, when I say Chicago got snow this week, I’m either hallucinating, time-traveling, or someone has a very active snow machine in their backyard.
If we’re talking about actual snow, and not just a really frosty beer, then I’m afraid to disappoint you. Chicago, in all its glorious summertime heat, decided to take a vacation from the winter wonderland this week. No snowflakes, no igloos, just good old-fashioned sunshine and humidity.
Snow Much For That
But hey, let's not get too down about it. No snow means no shoveling, no icy sidewalks, and no frostbite. It's a win-win-win situation if you ask me. Plus, it gives us more time to perfect our grilling skills and work on that summer bod.
So, to answer your burning question: Chicago got zero inches of snow this week. Zilch. Nada. Not even a snowflake-shaped cloud in the sky.
