More snow falls in the Midwest after record-setting November snowstorm

After one of the biggest November snowstorms in Chicago history, wintry weather is sticking around for Dec. 1.

00:00expect some fresh snow over what is now ugly snow. You know, the freshly fallen snow, it's

00:05pretty, or at least a lot of us would probably look and consider it pretty, but then the plows

00:10go through, cars go through, and it's just, it's gray, it's slushy, it's gross. So let's talk about

00:15those records that we kept referencing, and actually there's video of exactly what I was

00:19talking about there at the end of the crosswalk, and that is all because of the actually 8.7 inches

00:26of snow that Chicago picked up. The 8.4 you're seeing here, that sets the single day record for

00:32the month of November for snowfall. We got a few tenths of an inch after midnight, so leaked over

00:37to November 30th for a storm total of 8.7 inches, and that is relevant because we're going to compare

00:43that to the 10.8 you see here, which this 8.7 is the greatest storm total snowfall that Chicago has

00:49seen since January 2021 when we got 10.8 inches of snow. So a bunch of numbers, maybe

00:56the stats are not that interesting to you, but at least gives you a little bit of fuel

01:00for your complaining, as I like to say, that, hey, there was so much snow, it caused so many

01:05headaches. Well, at least it broke a record, and actually another record. It's on the list

01:09now of the greatest November snowstorms for Chicago. It's number four on the list here, and

01:16a lot of these are from, I mean, number one is from the 1800s. That's hard to beat. 1950s,

01:221975, or 2015. Ten years ago was the last time that we got to the top five on the list here.

01:28Let's talk more about what's happening now and what's ahead, because I know that's what a lot

01:31of you are tuning in for. So we've been talking about Chicago, active snowfall here, but I want

01:36to focus into the Ohio Valley, too, because this is where we have a messy, messy setup. So overall,

01:41Jeff's going to talk about the eastern side of this snow map, but most of us on the western half,

01:46we're getting one to three inches of snow. There's a few pockets here where we're seeing three to six.

01:51Some of this is because of lake effect snow causing some problems in Michigan. Now, this is

01:57not record-breaking snow by any means, but it certainly adds on to what we've already seen

02:00and just continues with the snowy pattern that we're seeing for the week. Accuweather

02:04Wintercraft for Chicago tells you one to three inches. That'll wrap up right around midnight

02:08and very high confidence in the snow totals here. This is not a situation where, hey, maybe

02:13you get four or five inches. No, we're pretty solidly confident in the one to three in this

02:18situation. Let's time it out on future radar, give you an idea of what to expect, and let's take a look

02:23at Cincinnati, because we start out with a wintry mix. Then we start to switch over to snow by the

02:28time we get to 8 p.m. We really see the switch over to snow by 10 p.m., and I'm pointing this out

02:33because it creates a higher likelihood for slick spots on the road. So especially if you're heading

02:39out at all this evening, you want to give yourself some extra time. Now, more broadly speaking,

02:43we get to the early morning hours. We still have some snow lingering for a lot of Ohio Columbus.

02:48You might have some active snowflakes for your morning commute. Cincinnati, it'll be mostly

02:52wrapped up, but still should allow for some extra time for some slick spots there. This moves into

02:57the northeast, but hey, look what's ahead. Another disturbance, and this one, it's more about the

03:02cold than it is about the snow, but we do get a little bit of snow, rain, snow mix, depending on

03:06exactly where you are that just, again, continues with the snowy pattern that we have for the week.
