Default Chicago road conditions after recent snow???
So what are the current road conditions in Chicago? Wet? Melting? Dry? Going to pick my boat up tomorrow at Shogren so I hoping things are dry.

Highways mainly dry. But your stuff will get dirty/salty from the melting snow running off the shoulders

We are supposed to get some rain later in the week and will most likely melt it all. May be clear by Saturday? We got close to 5 or so inches in the Laporte / Michigan City area which you would most likely be driving through.

I can't believe Shogren won't street sweep your complete route from his showroom to your house!

This was Saturday... I had to pull my new to me 33 threw the storm.

I found a semi truck wash in Wis that washed it all up for me once I was out of the snow.
