I bought a gram of snow for $50 from a guy at Division and Dearborn, but I put it all in my nose.

I'm not missing it! I HATE shoveling my drive way, because if it snows early, it ices up underneath by the time I get home. And shoveling ice is a major pita.

EDIT: I look outside right now, and it's snowing. Not too hard though.

I don't miss it, but I'd like to take my daughter sledding at least once more this season. Thanksgiving was all we really had

Anyone from Chicago should know that Nov/Dec rarely gets heavy snowfall. In fact, I believe we are right around the average for the year, so far. The majority of it falls in Jan/Feb.

I can't wait til 1 month from now when everyone is posting "OMFG I hate this snow."

Looks like we just had a small dusting. Nothing like a REAL Chicago winter. O well, I guess we should appreciate cause we can actually go out and do stuff.

I just drove home from my Dads and it is crappy driving weather, I hate when everyone drives 35 the whole way home.

50 a g? You must have snorted chalk mixed with baking soda or something.

I used to live in the burbs around Chicago (Glendale Heights to be specific) and have family still there.

I haven't seen snow here..........................don't bitch
