So, not much of a blizzard, eh? The heavy snow and whiteout conditions never quite materialized this time around. However, don't get your hopes up. A new blizzard watch may be issued for tonight for a system coming through tomorrow morning and, blizzard or not, it's going to be freaking cold. Temps will fall throughout the day and will fall to near 0 by the evening rush hour and brisk winds will drop the wind chill to as much as 15 below. Temps will bottom out between 3 and 5 below before they start rising and snow will move in after midnight and will pile up - and blow around - throughout the day Wednesday.

You'd think a foot of new snow would be enough for the area. But nooooooooooooo. We have to do everything bigger and better here in Chicago. After a relatively calm day today - cloudy skies, temps in the upper 20s and a chance of snow afternoon - everything's going to go to Hell (or Hoth, as the case may be) late tonight. Temps will drop to the upper aughts as blowing snow moves in, bringing blizzard conditions and an additional 2 to 4 inches of new snow with it. Things will calm down tomorrow, but then it's just gonna get even wilder here with more snow and bitter cold towards the end of the week as Thursday may be the first time in 12 years we don't break 0 for a high. Skilling mentions that tonight's snow could push us past the 38 inch tally that's the normal amount for an entire winter. And it's only mid-January.
