The weather forecast for today’s Cubs home opener against the Pirates is ... well, let’s just say it’s not baseball weather:
Monday: Snow before 1pm, then a chance of snow showers, mainly between 1pm and 5pm. High near 37. East southeast wind 5 to 10 mph becoming north northeast in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
Not only Chicago, but most of the Midwest and Northeast, have been in a persistent cold weather pattern for almost two weeks.
