Season's biggest snow buries north and west suburbs under as much as a foot of snow Friday night (Jan. 20)

|

Even mild winter months like this one can lambaste the area with snow.
As much as a foot of snow buried the hardest hit north and western
suburbs last week on Friday (January 20) converting the evening rush
hour into a nightmare with excruciatingly lengthy travel times over the
north and western suburbs. Anson Mount of Algonquin, a pilot and a
regular contributor to our weather blog, offers this image of the
impressive snow which fell Friday night.
