Chicago's forecast for the game

[lqmac1]

27 degrees

WSW : 12 mph

and expecting a "snow shower".

The good news here is Chicago's run defense is atrocious and we have Murray; Lee said he'll be "surprised" if he's a no-go, IS going to practice this week.

Sorry, but I don't trust weather forecasts until maybe the day before the game. For all we know it could be 50 and clear by Monday night.

Isn't that the forecast everyday in Chicago this time of year.

What's a "snow shower"?

What's a "snow shower"?

Not sure if this is a real question or you're trying to upstage the OP or something, but a snow shower is a real thing. It just means a short period of snow like a "rain shower" means a short period of rain.

I knew what it was referring to but I've just never heard the term before. It doesn't even make sense.

I don't think I'd heard it before, either. Sounds like it might imply something, like an icy snow or something. Of course, I grew up in Phoenix.

Heck, I'm originally from CO and I don't know the term. lol

You can call the maker of the Weather Channel App and ask him.

 

[CooterBrown]

I thought snow "fell" or "flurried." A shower is rain, or how I clean myself.

Yeah looking at forecast over a week out means nothing.

Directly from the NOAA website:

Snow Shower
A snow shower is a short duration of moderate snowfall. Some accumulation is possible.


And before you ask what NOAA is:
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a federal agency focused on the condition of the oceans and the atmosphere.

brutal weather conditions favor Chicago imo.

I'd also rather not have Lee back until he's 100% We need him badly but cold weather will not help his hammy.

No it doesn't.

How? Does their stadium become a dome when they're on offense?

 

[Lazyking]

No it doesn't.

I think it does. They are better suited to pound the ball then us.

They really aren't. I would they are even with us at best. They don't have a good oline either.
