Wha - ? I thought Winter Break was in December. LOL. All living in Chicago must get used to Snowmaggedon but how cool that the kids can stay put. Hopefully they’ll have some time for a snowball fight or two out on the Midway.
Hubby and I once trudged through WAY more than 8"of snow to get to Medici’s on Valentine’s Day (1989? 90? Forget the year). @85bears46, to answer your question: since the Weather Channel has turned everything into a BIG EVENT.
