That depends on the winter though, some are harsher than others.. Also Chicago isn't constantly covered in a blanket of snow, and Lake Michigan can have less ice, even in February.

Does anyone want to talk about how this line from Small Favor is even funnier in light of this chapter?
--- Quote --- My brother threw up his hands. "What does a woman need to do, Harry? Rip her clothes off, throw herself on top of you, and shimmy while screaming, 'Do me, baby!'?" he shook his head. "Sometimes you're a frigging idiot.

Apparently, even that was not enough for Harry.
Dina:
:D LOL! I had forgotten.

I grew up not to far north of there. We have Snow until Mid-March pretty much every year. Especially years where Mab keeps the Lake Ice, "Abnormally late this year" by having it melt a month early...
Snow comes later a lot. Often not until late December or early January. But there's always 3 months of it minimum. Michael's yard should have had a foot of snow in it.

Just looked it up, Chicago had nine inches for the month of February in 2020 and eight inches in 2019.. I was there for Christmas visiting my son and his family in 2017 and there was only a couple of inches on the ground, in fact it melted and the ground was bare, it actually rained if I remember. Now that isn't to say they cannot get some fearsome blizzards, they can, and it can be colder than a witch's tit as my husband used to say who lived there for years.. There is also ice on the lake, but that too varies. My son lives in a Chicago suburb like Michael, when I got there for Christmas there was perhaps three or four inches of snow on the ground, but it was melted and they ground was bare by the time I left just before New Years.
