Maybe a couple inches in NW Suburbs of Chicago. Hard to tell its blowing so much. Windy and getting really cold.

Up visiting my folks for Xmas. Nice to see, we haven't gotten much snow in TN last couple of years.

Snowing to beat the band here but not amounting to anything. Idiots on the interstate were driving like the roads were covered in ice with the outside Temps at at 45°.

I did cross an invisible line on the interstate, though, where the temperatures dropped 15° in about 200ft.

So far, it's 30° with a little snow accumulation on the grass.

Everything is drama these days…. We have a wind chill warning right now here and it is -15*f with the wind chill. It was -26*F straight temp without wind chill last week and it wasn’t even mentioned…

North central Illinois approx 2” snow with 20 - 25 MPH breeze.

The Windy City sucks so bad we get breeze up here 😂😂

It's snowing right now, will warm up by midnight with high winds, (50mph+) for a few hours. Heavy rain after midnight with flood warnings. 1"+ rain on top of our existing 8" of snow. Turning to snow midafternoon Sat, for a few hours. More rain than snow. Every few years we'll see a 36"+ snow storm, so nothing too exciting here. We average 60" - 80" of snow a year.

My sister has -38f in Choteau MT. Has been for days. Here, the only time my car ever overheated was when it was -40f. Time to check the "antifreeze". I don't listen to the drama, so it's just winter here.

-7 here today and looks like it will not be above freezing for about 4 days. 3" snow.

After walking the pooch in that wind, I opted for a change to the menu tonight. Got a pot of chili simmering on the stove. Will make the cornbread in about an hour I don't panic about the weather. I did take advantage of the boss panicking about the weather, though, and started my weekend a few hours early

13 degrees F here in DFW area. We had some light snow this afternoon, at least by Texas standards. There were flakes, no accumulation. Windy, very windy. Supposed to bottom out at about 9 degrees and then back up to 50s by Monday.

I was supposed to go to our office 90 miles away tomorrow, then continue down to see my mother. It looks like it will be warm enough for me to do that without worrying about ice; but I'm not sure about the wind. Hopefully this is just more hype by the news media.

8-9" last night and about -10 right now with a bit of wind. Supposed to stay nasty cold and get very windy tomorrow. Great time to stay inside.

The bomb was a dud here so far.

Yup, other than the cold Temps. Got enough snow to cover most of the grass. Roads and sidewalks have thin layer of ice.

Had to dig out the ice cleats when taking the dog for a walk. Took her out earlier after it iced up without the cleats. She decided a speeding car needed chasing

I bet that was a site. Fat guy skating down the sidewalk behind the pooch

6° out currently

Snowing snowballs here at the moment. Feels like a spring snow, couple of inches so far, 32 degrees.

I guess that it's headed this way. Does that mean that you're throwing snowballs at us? :D
It's supposed to change to rain. I can do without that, we have enough water.

12° and a good stiff wind here at 1:15AM. Probably only a couple of inches of snow so far.
My daughter and family made it in about 10:00PM, said US20 from US31 to SR15 was terrible. SIL said it was like the hurricane, but 80° colder.
