The storm that moved through the Chicago area from Monday night through Tuesday evening left 4 to 6 inches of snow in much of the Chicago area, with totals up to about 8 inches in a few areas because of faster rates of snowfall from Lake Michigan moisture, according to the weather service.

The season so far has only totaled 8.6 inches at O’Hare, where the official climate data is tracked. Snowfall for the season is about 8 inches below the average at this point, so this one storm could catch up the area, Castro said.
