OLM has seen 61 freezes this cold season. Their long term average is 75. Record low is 26, from 2014-15. 2015-16 saw 38. So it definitely can be a lot worse in that regard. In case you're wondering, 1984-85 holds the record for most with 104.

Spit marble to dime size hail here in the initial moments of the storm (looks like the better hail core went slightly to my north). Now just heavy rain.

Warned now and there has been additional development on the southern end of it, which will hit me.

Probably need a warning for southern Cook county IL.

NOOOoooooo!!
