Just when you thought it was safe to start going outside, Mother Nature smacks us strong across our faces with her pimp hand, reminding us who's boss. Temps are hovering near 0 right now and will "rebound" into the lower teens today. Expect things to cloud up a bit as the morning wears on and lake effect snow showers to develop; parts of the Chicago area could see as much as 2 to 4 inches by the time all is said and done and the snow shifts to the snowbelt of Indiana. Lows tonight will be around 0 under partly cloudy skies. But then something caught our eye about Skilling's extended forecast:
