I wouldn’t be shocked if another inch comes out of this. Looks like 5” out towards Napoleon & Wauseon. It must have been pretty nasty out by the border, they’ve shut down the roads in Williams County

For me, it was 4" on elevated surfaces, 3"+ on the ground. It turned out to be kind of a slushy, icy driveway and sidewalk, rather than fluffy.

Past-48 hr storm reports. looks like 5.5" to 9" around Chicago

The storm was disappointing here due to marine air and bad ratios on the far east side. Although with a low track well west in late November its not a surprise. Northwest suburbs towards Ann Arbor had 4-6". Some areas of west and mid Michigan had 6-8". I had 3.1" but compacted to about 2" of wet cement. I finish November at 5.7". DTW had 3.6", finishing November at 5.9".

It was certainly a spread the wealth for the western sub tho. 

Pic shows last night vs this morning.

excellent pics by Michsnowfreak!

Call it 8.1" for me. Nearest CoCoRaHS (Naperville 2.5 ESE) had 8.5". Looks like about 8-9" was the range in this part of the southwest burbs. My largest (and favorite) November event since I've lived out here and largest overall for my area since Feb 1-3, 2022. The most recent big late November event in 2018 was slop in the southwest burbs until the very end.

Somewhere around 11” here. An over-performing big dog. More photos to come once I get out there to clean up the driveway.

Jackpots of over 16” in central IA and S WI with this, seems like many areas got over 10” by the end of it.

[Chicago Storm]

Final storm total here at home of 9.0”

[Cary67]

Final total 8.5"

[sbnwx85]

Storm total was 8.9”

Any additional today I’m counting as lake effect. So far, 0.5” of lake snow. 
 

We lost about two inches to compaction so we have 7.5” on the ground currently.

So jealous of such a large area of 8+. We just missed it. Then again, just east of us got nothing. I will take that as a good sign though for the stormy forecasts this winter. Its still November yet thats a bigger storm than any this region saw last winter.

Got 5 I'll call it to stay consistent with reports from around the area. Would have been a total bust if not for that late morning punch where we got half of that. Had nearly an 8-9 hour stretch with nothing in between. Both bookend periods were of higher quality powder than I expected.  Lost an inch or so due to some melting, compaction and a small bit of drizzle around 3am. Got Pingers too for good measure lol. Not my best Nov snow but a top 5 in the last 15 years since I've been here. Sadly Nov '25 has tied my entire winter last year. Congrats to the final table up N and good luck to all over the next week. Me thinks a Dec warm up is not far away. Hopefully we are timing out for good holiday systems this year!
