If anything mech doesn ' t feel fun , hots mech was more fun to me . <| sep |> Hahahah love it . <| sep |> You won ' t really know until the day you leave . That ' s just the nature of weather around here . But the odds are very much in your favor . You ' re going to be making almost all of the trip along the interstate which is a top priority during snow storms . So even a relatively heavy snowfall won ' t significantly hamper the option to drive , at least in Wisconsin . I ' m not sure what Illinois ' plowing efforts are like . And if conditions are so bad that a car can ' t make it , the buses are going to be in trouble as well , simply because they can ' t just drive through all the cars that will be blocking the road . Of course , by the time that the weather gets that bad , there ' s also a good chance that your flight will be cancelled or at least delayed . The bigger issue is simply going to be if you are capable and comfortable driving if the weather isn ' t good . If you ' ve never driven on snowy roads or in blizzard conditions , it would certainly be safer and less nerve wrecking to you to ride the bus . Of course , if you go with the bus option , just be aware that they are going to be packed if there is a snow storm . Get there early .
