Chicago First Snowfall 2023

The Chicago area experienced its first significant snowfall of the season on Thursday, bringing excitement to snow enthusiasts and challenging conditions to commuters. The snow, which began falling after daybreak, continued through the early afternoon.

Reports indicated that snow rates occasionally surpassed one inch per hour, leading to fast accumulation on roadways. The sudden influx of snow caused travel delays and slippery conditions, impacting the morning commute for many in the region.

As temperatures hovered close to freezing, the snow transitioned to rain by the afternoon. Weather forecasts predicted a rise in temperatures to around 40 degrees Fahrenheit by Thursday night, suggesting that the snow would likely melt by Friday.

Meteorologist Emily Wahls, providing the weather update for Chicago, noted that the snowfall, while short-lived, was eagerly anticipated by residents who enjoy winter activities.
