Snow showers by this weekend????

As we get ready to move our clocks back an hour (don't forget this weekend!) and plunge into the winter season in a few weeks, I wanted to mention the average start dates for snowfall in Chicago.

Average date for a trace of snow: Oct. 30th
Average date for Measurable (0.1") snow: Nov 16th
Average date for 1.0" or more of snow: Dec 2nd

A weak cold front is pushing into the Upper Great Lakes this morning and with it bringing some light rain showers across the region. As this system quickly pushes through by tomorrow, and the winds respond by turning northwest, there is a chance late Friday night that northern Indiana could see a few lake effect snow showers mixed in with light rain. Temperatures overnight Friday into Saturday will be hovering the 32 degree mark. Not expecting ANY accumulation, just a cold rain that really hurts when being outside.
