Last gasp of this event. Very heavy rates downtown, roads covered again

 What has been the approximate range of total snowfall for Chicago, itself, so far? I know there’s a last gasp now near the shoreline.

Ended up with about 6” of lake effect fluff here in Libertyville. Better not be our best storm of the winter

Hello everyone, apparently there has been 10" of snowfall in Winthrop Harbor (a northern suburb of Chicago)!

Leaves are covering the snow here. That's pretty funny. Snow plows and leaf blowers lol. Great Sat loop of the Great Lakes as the upper low recedes to the S revealing the extent of it's early season cover....

That last band was really nice, winding down now and the sky is clearing as I look to my northwest.

Many moons ago I use to drive/hitchhike from Madison Wis to Indianapolis

On more than one occassion I would get to the  Big Turn South, past Gary I guess it was, and there was that weird Lake effect snow-like a sorcerer had cast a spell on that part of Lake country

Neat event. Looks like the jackpot areas saw 10-12".

Over here, our 1.2" of heavy wet snow yesterday half melted then we got another 1.3" from the Lake Huron band in the evening. It was gorgeous this morning as the last gasps of autumn mixed with the early touch of winter, temps in the mid 20s with wind chills mid teens.

Snow totals were 2.5" my backyard, 2.2" DTW. Some areas in the thumb/Port Huron saw 4-6". Totals varied widely throughout SE MI, with some spots getting as little as 0.5" to as much as 6". Detroit-south saw the most snow in the morning (1-3") and then the eastern suburbs saw the most in the evening (1-6").
