Snowstorm Update: How Much Snow Fell in Northern Illinois?

Winter Storm Saturn was expected to dump 6-10 inches of snow across northern Illinois.

Update, 11:20 p.m.: Here's a look at more snowfall totals.

  • Barrington, 6.7 inches, 11 p.m.
  • Northbrook, 6.2 inches, 10:15 p.m.
  • Joliet, 8.7 inches, 9:50 p.m.
  • Lake Bluff, 6.1 inches, 9:30 p.m.

Editor's Note: I wanted to note that not all towns have totals on the National Weather Service website. The National Weather Service relies on snowfall reports (emailed, phoned in or via Facebook) from residents and observers. So, sadly, I can only provide totals for the Patch communities included in the reports they've received. I often include other non-Patch communities just to offer a look at other regional totals.
