Chicago and surrounding suburbs saw their first measurable snowfall of the season Tuesday, roughly a month after the first trace of snow.

“What’s fallen since 1 a.m. this morning is the first measurable snowfall event for Chicago,” said Jake Petr, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service. “We’re getting an early dose of winter.”
