How much snow are we supposed to get? Chicago weather forecasts for snow show anywhere from a dusting up to 4 inches could fall in the area, with Cook County and the city seeing less snow than suburbs to the west and northwest.
More than 20 inches of snow. Drivers stranded for miles on Lake Shore Drive. Do you remember the Chicago blizzard of 2011?
By Sunday morning, 7.4 inches of snow had fallen at Midway Airport and 6.8 inches were reported at O Hare Airport, according to the National Weather Service.
Some areas outside of Chicago recorded over 9 inches of snow by Sunday. These isolated higher values are likely due to contributions lake effect snow, forecasters said. It s going to be very heavy, wet snow, National Weather Service forecaster Brian Leatherwood said. So anybody trying to deal with it manually, they need to be careful.
Snow is expected to taper off by the afternoon as the storm moves northeast out of the city.
