Keep shoveling: 2 to 4 inches of additional snow is forecast for Chicago area

Chicago Braces for More Snowfall as Winter Weather Advisory Takes Effect

A winter weather advisory was in effect Monday evening, prompting residents to exercise caution while driving due to steady snowfall expected until midnight and 3 a.m. The latest system is forecast to bring an additional 2-4 inches of snow to the Chicago area, following last weekend's record-breaking storm that saw the city receive almost 9 inches of snow.

Meteorologist Kevin Doom said Monday that the current weather system will mostly be light to moderate, with no snowfall expected to reach the severity seen on Saturday. However, residents can still expect delays and cancellations at O'Hare and Midway airports due to the ongoing storm.

The citywide winter parking ban took effect Monday, with the Chicago Auto Pound lot in South Deering being one of the first areas to be affected. Temperatures are expected to remain in the mid-to-low 20s on Tuesday, with no snow forecast for the day.

Last weekend's record-breaking snowfall marked a significant event in Chicago's winter weather history. Saturday saw almost 9 inches of snow fall across parts of the city over two days, while O'Hare reported 8.4 inches and Midway had 7.2 inches as of noon Sunday.

Ugh, can't believe it's snowing again ! I mean, I love winter and all, but Chicago is like the snow capital or something . One minute it's sunny, the next it's snowing buckets . Anyway, I'm kinda worried about my ride ... hope it doesn't get stranded in a snowbank . Guess I'll just have to stay inside and binge-watch Netflix until it all passes by . At least the coffee shops will be open for me ️!

Snow much drama in Chi-Town right now! I mean, who needs that much snow? 9 inches is a lot, especially when you're already getting 2-4 more inches on top? It's like Mother Nature decided to give the city a winter wonderland makeover... or maybe just a really long hot chocolate break . Can't say I'm complaining though, all this snow is making for some epic Instagram pics! And poor airports, stuck in the snow and delayed... at least they're not having to shovel it out like the residents of South Deering were. Brrr, can't wait till spring arrives and we get a little bit of sunshine around here!

omg this chicago is taking it hard with all this snow i feel for the ppl who have to drive in these conditions . i think its kinda sad that o'hare and midway airports are still experiencing delays despite the forecast saying there wont be any heavy snowfall, maybe they couldve done more prep work beforehand? anyway i guess its just another winter day in chicago, cant wait for spring to arrive .

Ugh, can't believe I'm stuck inside again . Like, I get it, Chicago's not exactly built for snow, but come on! 9 inches last weekend? That's crazy talk . And now they're expecting another 2-4 inches tonight? Yeah, good luck with that . I mean, I know the airports are gonna be all messed up and stuff, but can't they just, like, prep for it or something? It's not like they haven't seen this before. And don't even get me started on the parking ban... who thought that was a good idea?

I'm kinda worried about this latest snowfall in Chicago. While it's cool that they're giving residents a heads up, 2-4 more inches is still a lot to handle, especially with all the roads already snowy from last weekend . I get that it'll be light to moderate, but accidents can happen and the airports are already dealing with cancellations - what if things get worse? And yeah, O'Hare and Midway getting hit again is not ideal for travel plans... hope they can keep up with the storm . Still, gotta give 'em props for keeping us in the loop

OMG u guys I'm like so done w/ this snow already lol !!! chicago is literally covered in a blanket of white stuff and I'm over here like "can't we just have spring already?!" anyway, i feel bad 4 the ppl driving around rn cuz its super icy out there . and omg airport delays are the WORST ️‍. i swear last weekend's snowfall was CRAZY!!! almost 9 inches in like 2 days???! that's wild . can we just get some sunshine already?

OMG u guys!!! so chicago is gettin hit by more snow like, another 2-4 inches?? thats crazy!! i feel bad for the ppl who have to drive in this crazy weather lol i heard o'hare and midway airports are all messed up 2... like, delays and cancellations everywhere so yeah, chicago is basically a snow fest right now idk how much more of this winter we can take tho, its gettin old

ugh another major snowstorm hits chicago like what is happening to our city?! first it's record-breaking storms and now we gotta deal with more snowfall?! 2-4 inches of snow ain't nothing, but the roads are gonna be super slippery already from last weekend's mess...can't wait for the airport delays and cancellations ️ guess that means our flights r canceled again mid-to-low 20s temps on tuesday? just great, another day to bundle up in layers

Ugh, this is gonna be a pain to deal with... think all those poor folk stuck in their cars overnight with no heat . And don't even get me started on the airports - who needs to fly right now? ️. I mean, I guess it's cool that they got almost 9 inches last weekend, but now we gotta deal with this mess again? Can't we just have one winter season without a major snowstorm for once? . And what's up with all the cancellations and delays? Like, can't our airports handle some light snowfall? . Anyway, looks like we're stuck in this winter wonderland (aka Chicago) until midnight... just peachy .

Ugh i just wanna stay inside with a cuppa ️ all day this snow is getting ridiculous!!! how am i supposed to get anywhere on time? o'hare midway airports are cancelled already?!? my work calls and now im stuck at home lol what was the point of even having winter parking bans if they're just gonna make more mess everywhere seriously though, 2-4 inches of snow sounds like a decent chunk. hope we dont get stuck in the loop like last time

Ugh I'm so done with these winter storms ! Just when you think it's finally going to start getting warmer, BAM snowfall again! Chicago needs a break from all this cold stuff . I'm just glad I got my car parked on the street before they implemented that citywide parking ban... now I gotta shell out extra cash to park elsewhere . On the bright side, it's been pretty funny watching people try to drive in these conditions... like, good luck with that !

I'm low-key worried about the upcoming commute in Chi-Town Those airports are gonna be a mess with all this snowfall! I mean, I get it, Chicago's not exactly built for snowy weather, but come on! 2-4 inches ain't nothing, it adds up quick. Plus, the parking ban? Forget about it, my cousin has a car parked in that lot and now he's stuck with the fines . Anyway, I'm just saying, let's all just take a deep breath and enjoy the winter wonderland for now... but also be prepared for some major disruptions

Ugh, I'm so over this winter already ! Like, can't we just have a break from all the snow for one second? I was actually planning on heading out to Navy Pier with my friends next weekend and now I'm not even sure if it's gonna happen... The thought of trudging through all that snow again is just exhausting . And don't even get me started on parking, like what's up with the winter parking ban?! Can't we just have designated areas for snow-covered cars or something?

Ugh, I'm so done with this winter weather ... like, can't we just have a normal day without snow for once? And oh man, 9 inches is crazy!!! I was planning on going out on Saturday and now I'll have to deal with all that snow mess . Hopefully the roads aren't too bad at O'Hare and Midway, can't stand the thought of getting stuck in traffic . And 2-4 more inches? Like, how are they even gonna shovel it all?!

omg its getting crazy in chicago ! i mean i know we're used to chicago winters but 9 inches in one weekend? that's wild i'm low-key hoping the city gets a snow day on tuesday tho and btw i just got my new yeezys and they're literally made for snow days

Ugh, I'm so done with all this snow! I feel like we're still in winter mode here... I mean, I get it, Chicago's winters can be brutal but come on, can't we just have a few days of sunshine already?! I'm not sure how much more snow the city and its residents can take. On one hand, I do love the festive vibes and all the cozy activities that come with winter... but at what cost? The roads are already a mess and it's only going to get worse! I guess it's just another reminder to bundle up and be patient (and maybe invest in some snow blowers or shovels, lol).

ugh, another snow day in chicago lol... not that i'm complaining or anything but like have we seen enough winter already? 2-4 more inches is just gonna make my morning commute a total nightmare and dont even get me started on the airports, o'hare and midway are always such a pain during snowstorms ️ at least temps will be decent tomorrow tho... mid-to-low 20s, sounds like a nice winter morning

Ugh this is crazy!! Like we're already dealing with one major snowstorm and now another one's coming?! Chicago can't even get a break from the cold . And I feel bad for all the commuters trying to navigate those airports... 2-4 inches more snow isn't that much but it's still gonna cause a mess . Can we just get some decent weather for once? And did you see how they're already talking about last weekend's storm like it's some kind of record-breaker?! Like, hello, 9 inches is NO JOKE ! Chicagoans are used to that kinda snow, not this kind that causes citywide parking bans and flight delays .

so they're saying it's gonna be light to moderate snowfall but still expect delays at airports? that doesn't add up for me... i mean, if there's gonna be light to moderate snow, why would flights get cancelled? seems like a bit too much of a stretch... and what about the parking ban? 2-4 inches of snow isn't exactly crippling stuff, is it?
