Overnight Snow Tracking Towards Us

Don't be fooled by the slow start to the storm. The daytime snow was not expected to be significant. Reports of 1-2" fell in the area making for slick roads. Bridges and overpasses are exceptionally slick and I have heard the Indiana State Police mention driver going to fast causing numerous accidents on US 31.

Overnight snow should be 6-10" tapering off by morning. The overall snow totals will be less that were forecast last evening but I think both weather weenies and professional meteorologists got caught up in model hype. The storm also is tracking much more NW that expected.

Chicago was never expecting much of anything with this storm but now they are getting a wallop. Heavy snow warnings and winter storm warnings are now all across northeast IL. But don't fret, we will get ours and the winds whip it around.
