Snow??? In November???

Who would have thunk it....snow during the holiday season:

• The worst of a brewing winter storm is expected to hit northern Illinois on Saturday.

  A winter storm warning has been issued from 3 a.m. Saturday to 6 a.m. Sunday by the National Weather Service.

  The Chicago area is expected to see 5 to 9 inches of snow, according to the NWS’ forecast Friday afternoon.

As far as "sizable" snowfalls go, this is middling at best. And it's happening during a holiday weekend, so you can bet the plow drivers are excited for the first really big OT payday in a couple of years.

Chicago has dealt with far worse far better and with far less drama from the panic-driven media machine.
