The snow may not be too bad - but you can (and should) count on very windy weather and bitter, bitter cold (In January -10 is not uncommon, and wind chills are typically in the -20 to -30s when the northern cold fronts pass through).If you are driving, make SURE your care has plenty of anti-freeze in it, and has been completely winterized. Also, please make sure you have a safety kit in the car will allow you to stay warm until help arrives - if you run into trouble. And please don t travel without a mobile phone.You should make it OK, because you usually don t encounter a lot of snow in Chicago, if you are prepared for the cold and wind. The windy city is a good nickname for Chicago.I hope this helps.
Expect very cold windy weather. You re coming at the coldest part of the year. Snow and blizzards are a real possibility even though the answerers above don t think so. Be prepared for a very cold time with a windbreaker winter coat, a warm hat, gloves and some lined boots. If you re planning on being outside over 30 min, long underwear will be appreciated.
It will be snowing and very cold and a lot of ice and at least below 0 also it could go up to -10 and the hottest it could get up to in January is probably 15 degrees it will cold really cold u should bring a winter coat mittens (gloves) a hat and a scarf boots and other stuff needed so dress warm for January in Chicago.Have a great visit to Chicago!!!!Hope this helps u on your journey to Chicago!!
It will be really cold. Probably snow. Lots of ice everywhere and people will be grumpy because it s gone on for way too long. But the good part, January gets sunny even though it s cold so it seems better than gloomy December.
In late January the weather can get pretty snotty.Lots of snow and ice. Unless they have a really, really bad storm come through they usually take good care of their roads.
More than likely it will be ******* cold, although if we stay on this path it could be like the winter of 2004-2005 which was mild.
you never can tell here It might be like 10f and dry, or 25f and snowing like mad.
