    Nope, it's too cold to be snow. It's freezing rain.

    Nope...its called RAIN! It can come down as snow for sure...but depending on the temp and air conditions further up in the sky....it can hit the ground as rain!
  • Apparently, whatever we are sending you from Chicago is going to warm up on its way down. Its supposed to hit -20 here tonight and a high of -12 tomorrow. We have pretty good wind here and its been snowing on and off since yesterday. We have over a foot on the ground and they can not keep the east-west roads plowed. People are getting around OK, but the east-west roads have several inches of loose snow on them. All roads have packed snow on them, with patches where you can see the road. This is a bit unusual for Chicago, as typically we get cold, but very little snow.
