Will there be a White Christmas this year in Chicago?

its already getting a bit cold, i have to say this year is the best chance in a long time.

I know! Considering the Large Haldrom Collider didnt kill us i think we should be extra extravagent on the celebrations this year!

Is this just one inch of snow period? Or one inch of fresh snow falling that day?

yeah, what aobut snow already on the ground? and who is going to measure it?

@Dean
It may prove difficult to actually measure if Chicago will have a white Christmas
The city may be closed due to heavy snowfall.

Umm true but in that case they will just reschedule xmas to the 26th

No work on Friday - off for everybody

Chicago will be the envy of the nation.
Yeeaahhhhhhh!!!!!!

oh chatarra, you should do the question will the CBOT be closed on Friday due to weather :) and by the way is your name a combination of the words chat and tara as in chat house?

Great idea on the question.

As for the origin of Chatarra:
Before joining Hubdub, Chatarra is a name I adopted to identify spam email, when signing up for dubious internet offerings.
Chatarra is Spanish for Junk (Scrap Metal)

When I first started hubdubbing, I wasn't sure if I would
1) stay around
or
2) receive junk email from being a member
so being the naturally suspicious person that I am, I started my account with my spam email name.
Now, I wish I could change it, but I have too much tied up in winnings to make that sort of a change.

well look at it this way chatarra. Your Hubbdubbie name didnt just go up in value so did chatarra in the good ol usa...they are stealing man hole covers aorund here cause the scrap metal prices are so good :)

That whole (hole) man hole covers things really scares me.

I have ridden a motorcycle to 43 different states so far, and I love to ride.

Although I considered teaching MSF classes, (Motorcycle Safety Foundation),
I think it would be difficult (at best) to recover after hitting a missing man hole cover.

sure would...its horrible in the city...they are actually chaining them and welding them in place..then having to carbon arc them when they need to open them...
be careful chatarra, economy going to get a lot worse and metal thieving will happen more.
Well let them know cause at least in a car u screw up the car but u are in ok shape;

HELLO??????

I sent the info in that there was 6 inches on the ground yesterday at 10 something a.m. PST complete with a link.

Are we going to settle this anytime soon? I tend to bet on questions that are supposed to settle soon and I'm sitting here with the bulk of my capital tied up in suspended questions.

I feel like I've been visited by the IRS and my assets are frozen in limbo.

psst conspiracy....sure its not your limbo frozen to your assets?

hey, consp2, maybe the cat-ed is having a nice Christmas time.

Why don't you let him?

- peace on earth -

@ dean....ya know...I think I'd have more information on my limbo if I had some Viagra laying around.

@krujis, it appears my whining is for naught. it's all beyond my control, man.
but i do maintain that certain weather questions are sometimes best settled as soon as possible. in this case, the information had better be accessible as the link i sent was a live page giving real time info. since Chicago did not get any new snow after the suspension date, what was reported ON the ground yesterday in real time is all i had to offer the editor.
i've no way of knowing if they can verify that thru archives. and if they can't and they wind up returning everyone's money, all i've done is tie up my capital ruining my ability to do anything on this site.
i already hate the new site format....add this to the mix and the site just becomes more frustrating than interesting.
plus i already have so very much against christmas....

lol conspiracy..u want me to send u some? CIA dropped off some to me earlier today :)
ok conspiracy u need to go hang out at huffingtonpost and www.thenation.com a while bro.... u will feel beter,

consp, what about the site format do you hate? you could drop it in the "contact us" box or the forum. they will have an eye for your opinion, for sure.

@dean took your advice and i now have a profile picture.

@krujis i don't like that the format changed on the site here. i'd spoken to jen about it previously. a week or two ago i accidentally was included in this new page when the administrators were supposed to be checking it out. i hated it then. i liked all my predictions being in chronological order and on one page. this new crap has me opening pages all over and clicking all the time to return to where i was. it's just more time consuming and i have patience issues.
so i also wrote again when they made the change because there were things i could not initially find....why? cuz their like 2-3 clicks away when they used to be only one. but it's doubtful anything is going to change.
but now my biggest issue is this wad i stuck into this market thinking i'd have it plus my winnings BACK by now. i feel like i'm being punished. meanwhile i'm trying to whittle what i can in predictions down so i dont have so many to page thru to view.

WHAT is going on here today? I have cashed in a bunch of bets netting me a little over 200 bucks in the last 24 hours. But my net worth is dropping each time I show up here. Nothing settled yet, but I'm down 800 dollars for absolutely NO reason.
Now as I came on this page, again for no reason I gained 41 of the lost 800 back.
Anybody know what's going on?
