Chicagoans Bracing for More Snow on Commute Home
A gentle dusting of snow is set to descend upon the Chicago area, just as evening commuters are preparing to head home from work. According to National Weather Service meteorologist Gino Izzi, a half-inch or less of snowfall, accompanied by potentially freezing drizzle, will arrive in the early afternoon and persist through the evening hours.
While the current road conditions remain relatively favorable following recent major snowfalls, caution is advised for drivers, with Izzi warning that even slight accumulations can exacerbate the situation. "It doesn't take much to make things worse," he cautioned.
Temperatures will be plummeting by Thursday, dipping from a midday high of 28 degrees to lows of around 7 degrees and highs only expected to reach 18. This drastic drop in temperature serves as a reminder that the city has already seen its fair share of snow this year, with Saturday's November snowfall setting a record at nearly 9 inches.
As Chicago residents prepare for another winter evening on the roads, it's essential to be mindful of the rapidly changing weather conditions and exercise extra caution when navigating through the potentially slippery streets.

Ugh, just what we need more snow in this crazy winter! 
I'm so over driving around in the dark with icy roads. It's not like it was bad enough last weekend... 9 inches is already a lot for one day and now we're expecting more? 
My commute home is gonna be a nightmare, no doubt about it. Can't we just have some decent weather for once? 
anyway im glad the city is being proactive about warning ppl about the weather 
lets just hope every1 stays safe out there 
anyway gotta make sure my car is good to go, got a snow day tomorrow at work and wanna get home safe & sound 
7 degrees at night? no thank you 
and i was thinking we need more snow days at work lol what if we have like a surprise blizzard on friday? 
and my laptop's dead 
. I mean, 7 degrees? That's just crazy talk. What even is the point of having a city if we can't have some actual warmth during the winter? And don't even get me started on how much snow it already had this year... like, 9 inches in November? Are we even living in Chicago anymore? 
It's all just too much for my blood, you know? Just let us stay indoors and binge-watch Netflix until spring arrives or something 
.
that's even colder than my ex's heart after I broke up with them (sorry not sorry). But for real though, people need to exercise extra caution out there, it's no joke. Can we just have a warm and cozy snowy day for once without the freezing drizzle 
. who needs all that salt on the roads anyway? can't we just have a dry and mild year for once? 
still remember seeing those icicles forming on buildings downtown that one time, so eerie 
anyone got any good snow-removal tips? 
.
I know some ppl love the snow but honestly who needs that much cold and grey in their life? Just when u think it's almost over, BAM! Another snowstorm hits & we're back to scraping our cars & shivering on the bus 
I'm so over trudging through puddles and dealing with icy roads. And now they're telling us to expect more snow tomorrow? Great, just what I needed to make my commute even longer...
