It's still snowing fairly hard here in Chicago...it snowed yesterday morning and stopped by midday...started up again around 8pm and hasn't stopped. At 9am, O'Hare officially had about 8.5 inches on the ground with 2-4 more additional inches expected. Now that it's after 1pm CST, I know we have at least a foot on the ground...the city is doing a good job of keeping the streets plowed too.
Below zero temps heading here in a few days so all this snow will become hard as a rock...

TWC has been talking about the Chicago area and how much snow you've had. They said there hasn't been that amount since 2001 and it was highly unusual.
Snow update alert!
I measured seven inches of snow from the storm last night into this morning.
The snow depth is now a solid 9-10 inches again with 3ft snow piles leftover along north facing buildings.
Wow, awesome shot! We got 4 inches of snow yesterday, the way its going I won't see grass until April!
I wish I had a camera to take a picture of my snow mountain. As I look out my bay window, the city dumped snow in the parkway area on our boulevard. It may be there until May!
Ended up with a bit over 12" yesterday and it is still coming own very lightly now. They say another 4" today through tonight. We have had a lot of snow this year so far for only being in the 3rd month of real winter.
Bydand lately seems when the east lake shore gets snow by the time it moves across gains steam and really dumps on you.
We've had over our season amount already but you've gotten more snow than we have. My sister is in the UP at the top of Lake Michigan (banana belt) and she actually has had less snow than Two Rivers/Manitowoc.
Funny part of that is alot of people leave her area for the winter, go back down to Lower Michigan and this year they would have been better off to stay!

Reason: wording
I really don't know what the season total is so far for this year, but in Nov and Dec we had 75.5". We have had a few decent dumps after that so I wouldn't doubt we are well over 100" already. I was wrong about last night, I heard on the radio we got 16" and not the 12" I thought we ended up with.
