Could care less about Chicagoland. At least a few inches to keep everything white is nice to look at, but beyond that it doesn't matter to me. I'm much more concerned about the "Marquette county play" part. That said, a big storm in Chicago is fine with me too because that would likely equal even more to the north. Have not even had a sled at my house in 3 years so even if we get pounded at home, that would just be snow to play in with the kids.
Starting to get depressed as i'll be in the Yoop for a week and a half over xmas and it's not looking too good. I do know that that can change overnight but it would be nice to at least have chances of big snow or hints of storms in the forecast.
