Today's Weather: First Measurable Snow of the Season?

Huzzah! A new day is upon us and tomorrow, a new month. Making it only fitting that by the time December arrives at midnight, we could have a fresh layer of snow on the ground, the first measurable amount for Chicago this season. We're starting out the day with a mix which will change over to snow in the afternoon as the temp drops from around 40 to the lower 30s. As much as two inches could fall on some areas by the evening. There'll be more snow tonight, too, as an additional 3 to 4 inches could fall, bringing the total snow accumulations by Monday morning ranging from around 3 to 8 inches. Of course, with warmer temps, those accumulations, especially earlier in the day, will be confined to grassy areas. And some melting could lessen total accumulations...you know what? It's gonna snow. More than 0 inches, less than 10 inches. There. Drive safe, everyone!
