Well we got a light winter for the most part so far, so when it gets ugly we can’t say we were not surprised right? This Wednesday into Thursday, the greater Chicago area is expected to get blasted with windy snow and coldest temps since last year’s dreaded polar vortex. Wednesday will wet snow falling throughout the night into Thursday morning with temps as low as mid-upper teens by evening, then subzero most areas overnight. The negative numbered cold continues into Friday.

Let’s hope it doesn’t get as bad as last year. Here is a reminder.

Let’s just hope we get boil pots of water and turn them into mist as is the tradition.
