January 10th-12th Winter Storm Potential

Not the main event but a co-worker just called me in the Cal City/Lansing/South burbs of Chicago and said there are many many spinouts and accidents right now and the roads are about as bad as he's ever seen them.  Not sure what's causing this but I figure this is a good place to let someone know.

I didn’t find a specific date, but in January 1960, Chicago had a day where 2.76 inches of rain fell. That’s the highest number I’ve been able to find. Perhaps if the snow eludes the area, I guess we can watch a record fall?

RC can correct me on this, if he so chooses, as he has better records in his workspace than I was able to find via Google.

Same here as well.  Lot of coworkers said they have been spinning out with black ice everywhere.

January 12, 1960

The precip will bridge Friday and Saturday so it may be tough to do the daily record but maybe a decent chance to set an unofficial record for 2-day total for the month of January.

The calendar day precip record for meteorological winter is *probably* safe lol. 4.47" on December 2, 1982.

Here's the link to the attached Chicago's daily record listings for January and then you can access the other months from there:
