Oh ok. I wasn't here that winter except for christmas so don't really remember what happened. Was my only Chicago winter and managed to be there for the big new years storm they had which I think at the time was their 2nd biggest
Most likely no since it's a fast mover and will be out pretty quickly. I'd say 1.5" is the max for a few lucky spots up north or west but most of us end up <1"
This could surprise alot of people since upton hasn't really been talking about it. They're making it sound like it will be pretty light but I think while accumulations wont be much it could be heavy for a time
