Hey, everyone!
The Winter That Never Ends continues here in Chicago, even through Friday, March 21st - the first official day of Spring, 2008.
Man, I am getting blue! And, you know, so are my clients! Even here in Chicago, where we are quite used to it, only the die hards (and those very motivated) search the housing market in the middle of a moderate snowfall! (It's a great time for geo-farming, however - everyone else is hunkered down).
Starting Thursday night, the National Weather Service is predicting another possible six inches of snow to fall in the city and suburbs. More is predicted further north, near the Wisconsin border.
If snowfall exceeds 6.4" at Chicago's Official Weather Reporting Station, O'Hare International Airport - we will be then ranked in the Top 10 Snowiest Winters here.
It has seemed a lot worse, however! Practically every day - grey skies, little sun, howling wind, and ever-present snow. We're just starting to remember what the ground looks like, and it's going to be covered up again!
Good thing about this time of year, though - it melts pretty fast! We hope!
Anybody got a condo in a warm climate we can escape to this weekend. I have about 7 Million freezing friends, shovels at the ready, who might want to join me.
Think Spring, everyone!
Here's our thoughts and Weather Service Links via our BlogChicagoHomes.com Blog Center. I have also included a link back to Lil' Buddy's Blog, penned by our own Buddy Holly Moss, with a link to a ranking of Chicago's snowiest winters.

Here is NE Ohio we had a mini blizzard tonight. We only got about two inches, but for awhile driving was treacherous due to white-out conditions.
The good news is Spring officially starts in about 20 minutes (you have to wait an hour and 20 minutes). Hopefully, some great weather is just around the corner.
