Please give me your latest snowfall measurement from today. At 4:25PM, the heaviest snow if falling in the far northern suburbs, where some locations could end up with as much as 7" of accumulation. I'll have the latest on our 5pm digital broadcast and at 10PM on ABC7.

With our biggest snow of the season in progress, I figured this would make for a good weather quiz question tonight. Post your answer here and we'll have the results on our news at 10PM.

Only 4 % of you got this right. The snowiest January is 1918 when we registered 42.5" of snow. Even though we had the monster blizzard in 1967, we finished that month with just 28.9", which ranks as our sixth snowiest January. Thanks to all that answered this week's quiz.

If you liked today, you're going to love tomorrow. Highs will reach the very low 50s by afternoon and that will likely be the case every day through Wednesday. There is some wintry weather in the extended forecast. I'll have the details on our news at 5:30 and 10 PM.

Snow has been in short supply this winter, so when was the last time we had less snow this late in the season? Post your answer here and we'll have the results on our news after the game.

It's been ten years since we saw less total snowfall this late in the season. Next chance of snow comes Thursday, but that looks like it will be mainly in the northwest suburbs. Thanks to all that answered this week's quiz.

More unseasonably warm weather for tomorrow with highs around 50 degrees! There is an interesting storm system for Wednesday, but for now it looks like mainly a cold rain with a mix of precipitation far north. Your complete forecast on our 10PM News.

My final weather quiz is more of a poll to see which weather event is the most memorable to the audience since I first started working at WLS. Let us know which one made the biggest impression on you and we'll have the results after the game.

I was a little surprised that over half of those of you that responded picked the Groundhog Day Blizzard of 2011. The deadly heat wave of 1995 is the most memorable weather event to me. Thanks to all who answered this week's quiz.

I know I’m far from the only seeing the snowflakes, but it’s still a sight when it’s the first of the year. There could be some snow showers for the trick o treaters this evening. And for those of you wondering, retirement is good.
