No Kidding: Snow on Sunday! | NBC Chicago
Start cursing the weather gods, Chicago.

Snow could be coming to town as early as this weekend.
That’s right, snow. Flurries and flakes.

The forecast says that Saturday night rain will turn into the white stuff early Sunday morning.

If the snow sticks, it would be the earliest recorded measurable snowfall in Chicago. The record was set just three years ago when it snowed on Oct. 12.
[Again--if mile-thick ice returns to Chicago, how will that impact the value of local real estate?]
When the glacier reached its southernmost limit about 20,000 years ago, the ice was a mile thick at Chicago--an enormous weight that depressed the land beneath.
