Hi all ,

can anyone tell me the weather in Chicago and whether its snowing in chicago. how is the cs centre there. I have never seen snow in my life. how bad is it there I heard there was a blizzard recently in buffalo.. Will the centre be well heated.

my question is , how should one prepare to face the cold and how should one dress for the exam.

For the local weather in Chicago during your interview..go to: www.weather.com. You will need to type in the zip code/ name of the city to get the local weather.

Snow can be fun...nothing to be scared off......don't worry about it too much as they clear the roads and sidewalks real quick....but ICE can be really bad...definitely avoid stepping on Ice whenever you can...

Dress in formals for the exam...dress suit, dress jacket and a tie.. if you are guy (as I amsmiling face

Always dress warmly and in LAYERS (sweaters. jackets, sweatshirt, overcoat etc) as its going to be cold outside but all the buildings/buses/trains/ cars are heated to keep you warm...so as soon as you step inside, you should be able take jackets/overcoat off so that you don't melt to the floor!

Hope it helps..GL wink

Oh and am a guy just like you, remember the film "the matrix"

I plan to wear ordinary sports shoes and stuff my feet with warm socks and wear some leather gloves when i go out side.

Happy Diwali to all the guys from Indiagringrin

Are you going to be wearing sport shoes to the exam!!!!!! I dont think you wanna do that....but a warm fleece jacket and that whould be enough to keep the cold out....I am from India too but have now lived in the US for 6-7 years in the coldest parts and sometimes I have gotten by by wearing a shirt under a very GOOD JACKET.....the key is a GOOD FLEECE/DOWN jacket.....then anything you wear underneath is immateriall...
