Milwaukee and Chicago are having trouble with temperatures during the current storm because the adjacent lake is warmer than normal. There should be some ice on the lake right now, but that hasn't been possible because of the mild weather in the region.

My dad's flight on United going into Dulles from Frankfurt had to be rerouted to Chicago O'Hare due to poor visibility on the runway at the tail end of the storm. The pilot decided to abort landing. My dad was returning from one of his two trips to Kiev, Ukraine. He wasn't happy about missing the storm. My dad followed the forecast for the storm in Ukraine. He reported that the ground was completely white from Chicago on his way home the following morning. Following the weather was important to him. He gave me a one year prescription to access AccuWeather's premium content for Christmas that year. At that time it was a lot of fun to read through Joe Bastardi's content. My dad asked me if I wanted to renew the one year prescription the following year and I told him I didn't need him to. I had decided that I was proficient enough interpreting the models that I didn't need him to renew it.
