About 0.3 inches of snow forecast for today in Arlington Heights — less than the one inch that was forecast yesterday for today. Best chance for snow today is between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Radar shows snow approaching with the leading edge entering western Kane County and past most of McHenry County. The snow band is narrow, but expanding. A very light precipitation might affect the morning rush, but more snow after 9:00 a.m. Lack of wind and the 5-inch snow cover on the ground has chilled us like jumbo shrimp on ice into the single digits this morning.
Less snow forecast for southern Chicago — as in no snow accumulation expected near Joliet.
