CHICAGO — The bad news: Chicago got a little snow this morning.
The good news: None of it stuck, and it's not going to for a while.
The city saw flurries around sunrise between 6 and 7 a.m. Thursday morning, said Tom Kines, a meteorologist for Accuweather. There was nothing measurable, and the city is "at least a couple of weeks away" from anything substantial, Kines said.
"But, obviously stepping out the door this morning, it almost felt a little bit like like winter with the wind blowing and temperatures in the 30s,” Kines said. "Didn’t feel all that great out there.”
After this weekend, temperatures in Chicago should rise, and Kines said there will be two or three days next week that hit the 70s. The end of the week will see temperatures drop to the 50s, "where it should be at this time of year," Kines said, though "nothing in the near future says there's gonna be any snow."
And things could be worse than morning flurries: Chicago got 1.2 inches of snow on Oct. 29, 1917, and 2.7 inches on Oct. 27, 1967.
