Default Chicago Weather

Is anyone here on the board a meteorologist??? J/K I was really wondering if it's still going to snow up here in Chicago? Is the snow delayed or it passed already?

I don't know about Chigago proper, but Illinois looks pretty clear.

I don't know if it's going to snow again or not in Chicago...but I do know that I had the S2000 out since Friday...top down! It was amazing! But judging on this, I bet we get a blizzard in July!

According to weather.com (Weather channel), they say a chance of snow Tuesday evening, and snow on Thursday and Friday. I had the S2000 out on Friday, but not top down. I even got a "what kind of car is that????" at the bank drive-through on Friday

Yep, 18 inches at O'Hare...! I had about 10 inches or maybe a little more on top of the War Wagon this morning.

Rain and milder (relatively) temps has melted some and it was thick wet snow to begin with...should be an interesting (bad) ride home if temps drop like they say they are going to!

You know what's strange : they actually retracted this measurement, and restated the snowfall at O'Hare as being 12 inches. Sounds more realistic. We also had around 10 inches in the far north suburbs. The tollway wasn't bad at 4:00 pm, just wet.

By the way, I spotted a yellow S2000 on a flat bed, heading north on 294 tollway near the 95th street toll plaza at about 11:30 a.m. Was it anyone here??

CC,

where have you been? Haven't heard from you in a while, how are you faring?

So you're braving the roads driving the S2K, huh? Brave women....very brave.

Oh, I'm still around.....just haven't been visiting here as much as I used to.
And no, I don't take the S2000 out in messy weather. I drove it a week ago Friday. Remember.....just a week ago, it was clear and 50 degrees or something.
Replaced my winter driver and doggie limo a few months ago. Got a 2000 Outback.
I was in the Subaru Thursday, when I spotted the S on the flatbed.
