Regualr weather page contributor pilot Anson Mount was kind enough to share these pictures that he took during Sunday's near blizzard conditions. The pictures were taken on a drive from Mundelein to the Waukegan airport. Anson reported that many roads were drifted shut and even some snow plows were stuck.
