Chicago Could Get Enough Snow Saturday To 'Put Us In The Holiday Spirit'

A cold front moving into Chicago may result in substantial snowfall starting Friday night, according to meteorologist Bill Snyder. Current models indicate at least an inch of snow, with a 75% chance of accumulating four inches or more. Snyder, who has a long history in weather forecasting, stated it is premature to commit to specific snowfall totals. The expected snow could create a festive atmosphere following Thanksgiving, although it poses challenges for travel. Last winter, Chicago experienced its least snowy season in more than 70 years, with a maximum snowfall of only 2.

9 inches on November 21. Snyder highlighted that there is potential for a significant change in snowfall this season compared to last. The community anticipates the arrival of snow for holiday activities, including snowman building. However, residents should prepare for possible travel delays due to the weather.
