<p>How much snow does Chicago campus usually get?</p>

<p>"Snow" is not necessarily the right question. Chicago gets some snow every now and then, but since it's west of the lake it doesn't get the lake effect bonanzas that characterize really snowy places. What you probably really want to know is how many days the wind-chill is below -5 C.</p>
<p>Yeah, my buddies in Ithaca are under much more snow than I am. But it's cold and windy and icy.</p>
<p>I'm originally from the mid-Atlantic, so my definition of "cold" is extremely relative, but I don't think the cold is that bad here. You get used to it.</p>
<p>S calls me regularly with weather updates. I got one the first time the wind chill hit zero, as well as for the first snowflakes. He's used to hopping from a car to the warm bus, so actually having to walk out in the wind has taken some getting used to. He likes it; he just needed warmer clothes sooner than he thought.</p>
<p>I grew up in Phila and have lived in Chicago ever since going to that other university north of the one you're discussing :-). I don't really think the weather is all that different between the Northeast and Chicago, to be honest. It's a bit chillier here. Right now, Chicago's been experiencing a bout of unseasonably cold weather, but give it a day or two and the East Coast will have the same thing.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies. I live on the mid-east coast so my ideas of snow may not necessarily be the same as yours. How many feet of snow do you usually get per snowstorm and the entire winter?</p>
<p>That's all stuff you can look up online. I am horribly out of tune with the things of real life, like weather. I put on my jacket and boots and hat and scarf and gloves each morning and I'm not dead by the time I arrive to class. That's what I know :-)</p>
<p>S says that he's roasting by the time he goes from Ryerson to the classics building and climbs to the fourth floor for his well-heated HBC class. It's all about the layers, he says.</p>
<p>um. I'm from northern California. If i get in, the weather will be ROUGH...but totally worth it. :)</p>
<p>Here's a link to one of the webcams, so you can see for yourself:

<p>I'm from south mississippi, it'll probably kill me.</p>
<p>lazydog, we can suffer together. I'm planning on bringing all my flip flops. :) That is, if i get in. AHH.</p>
<p>well, i don't normally where shoes, but i'm definitely planning on bringing both of my feet, if i get in.</p>
<p>good luck.</p>
<p>well, i don't normally where feet, but i'm definitely planning on bringing both of my legs, if i get in.</p>
<p>good luck</p>
<p>haha fastfood, we both misspelled wear.</p>
<p>I'm from Southern California where it almost never gets lower than 45 F in most areas :p</p>
<p>If I get in... winter will be interesting... <_<</p>
<p>ahh... but will you bring your flip-flops... or your feet or legs for that matter? Important things to remember as it could take days for your parents to ship flip-flops from socal to chicago, and i would assume even longer to ship human body parts.</p>
<p>i was actually just being funny. I typed it correctly and had to go back and change it. funny in retrospect</p>
<p>I would actually be saying good-bye to my flip-flops for quite a while, sorry to disappoint you ;)</p>
