I do not know about you, but the threat of several inches of snow accumulation for Halloween this Thursday along with plunging temperatures gives me the shivers. Brrrrr! Let’s have some empathy with those trick or treaters in their skimpy costumes.
According to the National Weather Service there have been only six Halloweens with snow accumulations. There has been more than an inch of precipitation on Halloween only three times. These statistics are since they started keeping records in 1872.
Let the upcoming initial winter weather once again alert you to the need to inspect and service your parking and access control equipment. Now is the time to ensure smooth operations through Chicago’s snowy and icy weather.
