This event began predawn Thursday 11/15/18 to the southeast and continued in some parts up to 8:00 pm. A low pressure system tracked well south of the Chicago area but nonetheless it spread some light snow into northwest Indiana and up to the I80 corridor into eastern Will and southeast Cook by dawn on Thursday, with 2-4 inches falling over east central Illinois and northwest Indiana. Meanwhile, a single band of snow moved through the Chicago area from southeast to northwest. This area of snow stalled over southeast Wisconsin and just east and southeast of Rockford. Much of the area had 1-2 inches with some isolated amounts above 2 inches over Lake, northwest Kane and northern DeKalb Counties. Pavement temps remained above freezing during the duration of the event for much of the area resulting in wet surfaces. There were some slippery surfaces along and south of I80 predawn. Officially, ORD officially had 1.1” , Romeoville 0.3”, MDW 1.4”.
