The roads are mostly wet with some slush on the side roads. The current temperature here is 31 with light to almost moderate snow falling. To the east at Detroit and Ann Arbor were heavy snow is being reported their temperatures are in the 32 to 35° range. So not sure how much snow will stick in that area. The main surface roads at my office here in Livonia have mostly not accumulated due to the 33F temps and I presume a fair amount of road salting.

Tom Posted January 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 ORD officially had 3.6" yesterday but there was a decent amount of melting, however, I woke up to a fresh new coating of snow this morning.

Tom Posted January 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Measured an additional 0.9" since last night and should bump up ORD's total later today.
