You really shouldn't lose any sleep over this. Seriously. Yes, it is true that a self-proclaimed time traveler from the year 2671 has predicted that Illinois will be devastated by the worst blizzard in history this year, but he doesn't exactly have a track record of accuracy to brag about.
I'll begin with some bad news. A self-proclaimed time traveler is predicting the worst blizzard in Wisconsin history later this year. The good news? You really shouldn't lose any sleep over this prediction as he's likely the worst time traveler in history.
I'm not going to say this is unprecedented because this is weather we're talking about, but it's at least highly unusual for blizzard warnings to be already issued for many Illinois counties and almost all of Iowa for Friday night.

A meteorologist is predicting a potentially wild weather week for Illinois. He says that over the next 10 days, Illinois could see not just one blizzard, but perhaps even two. His explanation why will make you want to stock up on groceries and gas up your vehicle.
