Get ready for "thunder snow."
The National Weather Service has issued a winter-weather advisory in effect from 6 p.m. Thursday to 9 a.m. Friday.

What a difference a year makes. It was one year ago today that the Chicago area was blanketed in almost two feet of snow. Cars were snowed in, streets were impassable and kids looking to build snowmen had to wade through the waste-deep white stuff. Today, not a speck of snow or ice is on the ground. The unseasonably warm temperatures makes a major snowfall a distant thought. What better way to celebrate this warm weather than a look back a what last Feb. 1 had to offer. Re-live our coverage of last year's snowfall:

Council members expressed much gratitude toward public works for cleanup efforts following the blizzard.
Snow Removal: Mayor Gerald Bennett said at the Feb. 3 City Council meeting that he believed public works did an excellent job of snow removal during Tuesday's blizzard. He said the city delivered a reverse 911 call to residents urging them to stay indoors and off of the streets, and also informing that trash pickup would be delayed on Wednesday. “I want to thank our residents for complying with that call and helping to make cleanup easier,” Bennett said. The mayor also said that public works had a vehicle making the rounds in order to clear the plow wall from the driveways of residents who had to leave their homes for emergency reasons. A number of council members said they received few phone calls from residents, and those they did …
