When Will Chicago Become a Winter Wonderland?
The Eternal Question
Ah, Chicago. The Windy City, the Second City, and soon-to-be, if we're lucky, the Snowy City. Every year, as the leaves start to turn those lovely shades of red and orange, the question arises: When, oh when, will the white stuff start falling?
Let's Talk About Snowflakes, Shall We?
Now, I know what you're thinking. "It's not even Halloween yet!" But let's be honest, planning ahead is half the fun. Besides, who doesn't love a good snow day? Curling up with a hot chocolate, watching the world turn into a winter wonderland... it's practically therapy.
But Seriously, When?
Typically, Chicago starts to see snowflakes dance around December. It's like Mother Nature's way of saying, "Hey, remember me? I'm the one who brings the cold." But let's not get too cocky. Chicago weather is as unpredictable as a squirrel on a sugar rush. One year, we're building snowmen in November, the next, we're wearing shorts in December.
Tips for Surviving Chicago Winter
- Invest in Layers: Onion-style dressing is the key. You'll thank yourself later.

- Find a Good Snow Shovel: Or, better yet, a neighbor who owes you a favor.
