Should I Move From Chicago?

With all of today's hype of the upcoming winter season, many people are wondering, "Will this year be the return of 'Snowmageddon'? Should I move from the Midwest?" Well, if you subscribe to the Cherry Logistics' Weather alerts and emails, then you know from the early September emails that you should not be moving anytime soon.

While the February Blizzard of 2011 may have seemed to put us way above average for seasonal snowfall, Chicago O'Hare recorded only about 3.5 inches more of snow than the 2009-2010 winter season, which recorded 54.2 inches. In fact, Chicago O'Hare's five year snow average is just over 52 inches.

So to sum up, there is no need to move from Chicago if you have survived the past four years here. Snow is and should not ever be a stranger to the Midwest.


And if you are not subscribed to the Cherry Logistics' Weather emails and alerts, here are several of the outlooks that were passed along in early September for this upcoming winter season.
