How much snow fell in Chicago? Latest totals, with another round of snow on the way ...Middle East

The Chicago area’s first major snow storm of the season has come and gone, leaving behind slick and slushy road conditions and several inches of accumulating snow across the area — with another round of winter weather on the way

Snow totals were expected to be between three and six inches for most parts, the NBC 5 Storm Team said, with higher totals possible in Lake County and upwards into Wisconsin. Dozens of schools across the area were closed for a snow day in anticipation of the storm.

As of early Thursday, some side streets remained snow-covered, with light flurries continuing to fall in parts to the southeast, including in Kankakee, Will County and in Northwest Indiana.

Thursday afternoon was expected to be sunny and dry, NBC 5 Meteorologist Alicia Roman said, though more snow chances were expected to arrive by Friday afternoon, lasting through the evening commute and even into Saturday night.

Beginning around 2 p.m. Friday, winter weather was expected to move in from west to east, with snow to the north and a wintry mix around LaSalle County and to the south. By 6 p.m., the snow would be widespread across the area, Roman said, with on-and-off snow showers through Saturday afternoon and into Sunday morning.

“Impacts to travel will be possible, including during the afternoon commute,” the National Weather Service warned. Possible snowfall rates of an inch per hour could lead to reduced visibility and hazardous travel.

The system moving in Friday could bring another two to four inches of snow accumulation to most parts, Roman said, with higher snow amounts near and north of I-80. To the south, a wintry mix is more likely.

Following the snow, temperatures will drop significantly, with a high of 10 degrees expected Monday.
