STORM SUMMARY 1-17-12

A low pressure system tracked almost right over the Chicago area during the morning commute. Ahead of this system light rain and drizzle occurred overnight as air and surface temperatures were in the mid to upper 30s. Rain changed to snow between 6-7am Rockford and between 7-8am McHenry and Lake Counties. The changeover took place between 8-10am over the remainder of the area. Temperatures were still in the mid 30s as late as 9-10am at ORD. Occasional light snow diminished by 7-8am. Temperatures really dropped after 6-7pm falling to new 20 degrees. Salting was needed during the snow event itself and as the temperatures really turned much colder early night, additional salting was required. Snowfall totals were the greatest from Rockford eastward thru Lake County where 1-4 inches fell and plowing and salting was needed. Average amounts elsewhere mostly under an inch resulting in a salting operation and again multiple salting applications were required. The official snowfall at O’Hare Airport was .4 with 1.7 inches at Rockford
