What is the weather like in Urbana Champaign, I have heard that the winters are pretty cold but what is it like the rest of the year, also when does Urbana Vhampaign usually get its first snowfall? I ask because UIUC is at more or less the same latitude as me however I heard that it gets colder because of the great lakes.
I am also curious about the general ratio of cloudy vs non-cloudy days per year.
Chicago but slightly warmer and less snow. We’re too far from the lakes to get lake effect. First snowfall is usually November-ish, but snow seems to not be super common. I’ve only been here for a couple years so someone else can probably give a way better answer.
Here is a huge amount of data if you care to read it.
