Clipped by the Clipper

Well, the Alberta Clipper really did a number in the Arlington Heights area. Snowfall as of 6 a.m. this morning totaled 7 inches. The snow began Tuesday afternoon around 3 p.m. but was quite light until about 6 p.m. By mid evening 2.5" had fallen, but it was still snowing steadily and the snow continued overnight, obviously picking up in intensity. Only a few flurries are falling at 7:40 a.m. but radar indicates that some lake effect could move in later this morning.
