Most to least realistic in my opinion:

1) Dfa: I'll remain optimistic that climate change will be under enough control for warming less than 4C to remain in the "D" threshold, but it'll be close.
2) Cfa
3) Dsa: Summer is twice as WET as winter meaning the trend will have to reverse by a factor of 20x.
4) Csa
5) BSk: I don't see a drastic enough change to decrease precipitation by more than 400mm. If anything there should be more moisture coming up north from the Gulf of Mexico.
6) BWk

One week since I’ve posted this thread, and 16 votes total so far. It looks like Chicago’s climate won’t change a whole lot from present day climate conditions even under climate change if the poll reads right. Keep on voting.
