If you like your winters on the colder and snowier side, I've got some good news. Chicago is about to see more snow and colder temperatures.
We nearly tripled January's snowfall in one day. January had seen just 1.9 inches of snow before Wednesday.
O'Hare ended up seeing the biggest snowfall of the season yesterday with 3.6 inches of accumulation. That was the biggest one-day snowfall since Feb. 2, 2022. Groundhog day last year was the last time we had more than 5 inches of snow in a single day. The total for January through Wednesday is 5.5 inches. We are still down 3.6 inches below average for January and 8.7 inches for the entire snowfall season so far.
More sticking snow is on the way over the next few days with the most significant snowfall expected late Saturday into early Sunday morning. Light snow will fall from time to time today and tomorrow. Total accumulation from this should not be much more than in inch or so. Thesqueezes out about 3 to 7 inches of total accumulation from today through Sunday morning. Most of that snow is scheduled to fall late Saturday and continue into the early morning hours of Sunday.
Not only has snowfall been lacking so far this winter, real cold air has been largely absent too. The two go together. Wednesday was the 29th straight day with above average temperatures. December actually ended up 1.4 degrees below average overall, but it seems like just after Christmas mother nature has turned up the thermostat. January is now 10.2 degrees above average overall.Our Fox model has highs dropping into the 20s on Sunday and then temperature tumbling further early next week.
