It flurried about 10 minutes, nothing accumulated. Three days later it was 73 degrees. Like I said, spring can be a rollercoaster at times, but generally is very nice.

Wow, thats amazing.

"Worst weather in the world"? haha You have got to be kidding me, really. Youre joking, right?

Really? Hmmm, Chicago averages upper 40s and low 50% sunshine averages in winter, which is rougly one out of every two days. Seattle hovers around 25-35%.

Anything else youd care to overexaggerate about?

I prefer Chicago's summer's over Seattle's, but Seattle's over Chicago's winters. I prefer Chicago's falls over Seattle's, and Seattle's springs.

I would give the edge to Chicago ONLY because it has more sunny days in both the Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring.

Midwestern weather is usually miserable just to start! Chicago pretty much amplifies every bad aspect of our weather by two fold. Don't let Chicagoans, that have never lived anywhere else, try to convince you that the weather here is better. I read a post one time that a resident of Milwaukee, of all places, tried to convince California residents, OF ALL PEOPLE!, that San Diego had worse weather than snow covered Milwaukee. What a joke...

I've been to Chicago quite a few times. I always said I could definately live there, but the winters are the absolute worst. That kind of weather is what I will avoid for the rest of my life. A visit to Chicago on occassion is ok though.

I don't trust wunderground because their forecasts are terrible. There were much more sunny days, but wunderground says they were rainy/cloudy because it rained 2 minutes
