Interesting. Not that I doubted you at all but I went and googled why Chicago is called the Windy City. Of course you are quite right. And all these years I had that assumption that it was because it was really windy there all the time as in the weather. I learned something tonight.

It’s on the west side of the lake. Buffalo is on the east side of the lake, and hence far windier than Chicago.

Expecting 3-5" here Friday & Saturday.  That's nothing. But hopefully wind and cold doesn't turn put it on steroids.
