Snow began falling across the Chicago area at around 2pm this afternoon and that is the only the beginning of a prolonged storm that could keep the fluffy white stuff falling from the sky until mid-day Thursday! The storm will not be a traditional storm and will come in multiple waves that could send snowfall totals over the 12" mark in the city and areas north.
Overall, a general 4-8" will fall from the system snow between now and late evening tomorrow! Then the lake effect snow machine turns on. This is huge wild card because the exact set up of the lake effect snow is up in the air, but an additional 3-6" of snow could fall in the lake effect snow areas.
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect for the entire area until 6pm tomorrow afternoon for 4-8" of snow with the heaviest to fall AFTER sunrise tomorrow! Then in Lake and Cook Counties a LAKE EFFECT SNOW WATCH goes into effect for tomorrow night and Thursday morning where an additional 3-6" could fall. If you are traveling, please allow for extra time and DRIVE CAREFULLY! ROADS will be slick and snow covered.

Biggest Snow of the Season Affects Chicagoland Area
After not seeing it's measurable snow til December 23 last year (the latest on record), it snowed for the 8th time today at O'Hare Airport. Today was the most widespread snow event of the year affecting pretty much the entire Chicagoland area. While the storm's heaviest snows have been to the north of the city, O'Hare and Midway are already reporting their biggest snowfall of the season, with the snow still falling! Light to moderately light snow will continue to fall until around 10:30pm tonight, before it tapers of to flurries. If you have to travel, be careful as roads are slick and snow covered.
A cold weather week is ahead of us as highs could struggle to reach double digits on Wednesday and overnight lows dropping below 0 for the first time this season. Stay warm and bundled up. We will have a full roundup of the snowfall totals once they all come in.
As of 5pm, O'Hare and Midway were reporting 0.9" of snow! Romeoville was repoting 0.4" as of 4:30pm!
