Good morning everyone.

The dry spell is finally over.  O'Hare officially picked up 0.5" of snow from last night's minor snow event.  This puts this winter as the 5th for latest date of the first measurable snowfall. The snow season has been off to a very slow start which is raise the question as to how much snow we will see this winter. No major storms are on the horizon and temperatures are expected to rise back into the 40s by the start of next week.  History tells us that we should have a below-average snow season due to the lack of snow early on in the month of December.  However, as we know, Chicago has a lot of wacky weather and anything can indeed happen.

For today, it will be the COLDEST day of the season, with temperatures no expected to make it into the 30s during the day.  It currently sits at 26 with temperatures holding steady throughout most of the day.  However, despite the cold, we should see a lot of sunshine today and tomorrow as well, although the cold will still be around for at least one more day tomorrow.  More updates will be provided later on!
