Chicago: Lake-enhanced snow in store this weekend
While the Chicago area will remain on the northwestern fringe of a massive storm with snow and ice in the southern and eastern United States this weekend, Lake Michigan will add enough moisture for 1-3 inches of snow to fall with locally higher amounts from Saturday afternoon to Sunday evening. Given the frigid conditions, most ice-melting compounds may be ineffective. Roads will become packed with snow and slippery as a result.
