Chicago Snow, Arctic Cold Returning: Up To 5 Inches In Areas Saturday, Bitter Temps Next Week

Snow, Arctic Cold Returning To Chicago

Get ready for more snow and cold, Chicago!

The Windy City is about to be hit by a clipper system on Saturday that could bring as much as 5 inches to some parts of the Chicago area and between 2 and 4 inches to others, according to NBC Chicago.

Ahead of that, more light snowfall is expected Friday afternoon, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

That's on top of the 35 inches of snow that have fallen so far this season in Chicago -- an amount that already makes for the city's seventh-snowiest season since 1884, according to the Chicago Weather Center.

The above-average snowfall has meant the city has spent $11.2 million on snow removal since Dec. 31 through last week -- more than half the city's 2014 snow removal budget.

Meanwhile, some Chiberia-esque temperatures are expected to return to the area next week, when high temperatures struggle to get into the double digits on Tuesday, the Sun-Times reports.

At least winter is now more than half over!
