5. Just rain here
If the GFS model is right, we are probably done with snow chances here. There is a VERY small chance, and that is 10+ days out.

7. As you can see from the GFS (Global Forecast System - American weather model)..
map in the link, it still wants to develop a -NAO around day 10 - but in spring, you really need exceptionally cold air. And based on the blue (surface temp freezing line) being north of SE PA, it would not be snow here.

13. That's where I am--northern Illinois.
I put my storm windows up last week, when it was in the 70's. Then down again at the beginning of this week, when it was so windy. I'm glad I don't have the kind you actually have to install anymore.

12. It ain't Spring in Chicagoland until you have a good foot of snow in late March and/or early April.
