It’s not winter yet, but it’s snowing – Chicago Tribune

Good afternoon, Chicago.

Maybe it’s not officially winter yet, but the snow is falling in any case.

The first official snowfall was recorded at O’Hare International Airport last month, but this morning many residents of the city woke up to snow on grassy areas and rooftops for the first time. Drivers should continue to wait muddy accumulations for an afternoon ride.

That’s when Chicago got its first snow of the fall season in more than 135 years.
