Is it safe to drive to Chicago from Austin, Tx? -

Me and my family usually ride out to Chicago during the winter. But we don t know if its going to be safe this year (cause of the snow)

I agree with the other answer, you can do it again, it s just that black ice you got to watch out for, my sister moved to austin from chicago last year, and when she left she called an hour and a half later to let us know her car was in a ditch....(it was dark, and she didn t see the ice) I recommend driving more during the day, so you can see the roads better. good luck :)

When?Now we are having snow and a lot of wind but tomorrow it will stop and remain windy then a cold. spell sets in. Stay on the interstate highways and you ll be fine. Tune into AM 780 for local traffic when you get into IL.below is the Chicago 10 day weather report. Use it when you leave to get an idea of what to expect.

If you have driven in Chicago before during snow, you can do it again. Just check the weather forecast first, as bad weather can be anywhere.

you ll be find just stay away from englewood

Whale watching, halibut fishing, seeing the glaciers Alaska.? -

Where would be a good reasonable place to stay to get to do these three things in our stay in Alaska? Somewhere close to a town so my wife and grandmother might be able to do some shopping and me some fishing? While still doing some whale watching and see some glaciers?

Although many places fit the bill I am suggesting Seward AlaskaThere are some great companies out of there that do wildlife photo tours, and whale watching. In any small town you will not have malls and shopping; like you might be used to in the lower 48, but there are still great shops, local artist have galleries, and you can get local crafts as well.Seward is a very nice community, and has lots to offer. on the 4th of July the community really celebrates, that would be a fun time to be there. Also the Seavey family operates one of the best Dog Mushing tourist rides in the state.Here are some links to help you plan:http://www.sewardak.org/http://ididaride.com/http://www.alaskawhalewatchingtours.com/http://www.backcountrysafaris.com/alaska��

Without a doubt, Seward is the best choice for a city to go to for all of these criteria.
