When Does the Snow Actually Start Falling?
Now, you might think, "Okay, smart guy, just tell me when it snows!" Well, dear reader, it's not that simple. Chicago's winter is like a moody teenager: unpredictable.
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
Generally, the snow starts its grand entrance sometime between November and March. But don't be fooled, this isn't a guarantee. Chicago's weather forecasters are basically psychics trying to predict the next lottery numbers. One year, you might be building snowmen in November, and the next, you're wearing shorts in December. It's a rollercoaster, people.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
The Snowiest Months
If you're a snow enthusiast (or just really enjoy complaining about the cold), then mark your calendar for January and February. These two months tend to be the snowiest, but again, this is no concrete promise. Chicago's winter is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get.
QuickTip: Read in order — context builds meaning.
