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!
