When it snows in Chicago does the snow stay on the ground very long? -

I mean does it stay around for a week or two or longer? Does it snow quiet a lot in the winter, and is there usually snow on the ground on christmas day. I have seen it in many movies and was wondering if there is a lot of snow and if it stays.

The weather varies so much in Chicago (and many places in the central United States). Sometimes the snow will sit for weeks, sometimes it ll be gone by the next day. Sometimes it ll be cold for a month, then we ll have a week or two of fairly warm weather.Just always remember to bring a coat and if you have a car, have the necessary supplies in there to scrape off your windshield. It ll be cold, there will be snow, but it is constantly changing.

It depends on how warm the ground is. Right now, the ground isn t really frozen through because it s been warm on and off. Later in the season, the snow will stay around if it continues to be cold. It also depends if there is a lot of snow or just a sprinkle. Sometimes when it gets all gray and ugly you wish it would just go away or get a fresh cover of nice, white snow.

Chicago is VERY cold in the winter! It snows alot in chicago, and sometimes the snow stays til atleast april or may. There usually is snow on christmas day.

I hoping and assume that this will be a mild winter but most winters there is snow on the ground for weeks even months.With the exception of plowed and salted streets.

Yes. Snow usually sits on the ground for weeks.

if it is cold enough it stays for a long time
