It’s already February, and Chicago is still mostly mild and totally snow-free!
If missing out on that "real" Chicago winter has left you wishing for snow, and you don’t already have plans to head to the mountains, you’ll be happy to hear the groundhog saw his shadow. That’s six extra weeks to find the winter adventure you crave.
How do you plan to enjoy winter if it ever arrives? I'd be happy to have a sled and a dusting of snow.
