Snow in Glen Ellyn: Share Your Winter Photos

Aside from the cold, we haven't had much snow this winter. So, if the predictions are on target, let's document what may be the worst snow storm of the season.

To snow or not to snow? That is the question. The prediction is for snow, whether it dumps or fizzles in Glen Ellyn is up to Mother Nature. If the winter storm being predicted has any punch, we want you to share some winter photos with us. It’s been a slow winter with little measurable precipitation (snow). So, let’s document what little we may get before spring arrives. Share your photos in our gallery. Any registered user may share photos. Just click to upload and add your photos. Be sure to share a caption and let us know who is in your photos.  --------------- Keep Your Car Under Control in Snow and Ice  Things to Keep in Your Car During Winter  Winter Weather Tips for People, Pets
