Snow will be dry and fluffy and easy shoveling. Winds will be blowing 5-9 MPH from the north-northeast during the snow system tonight and Sunday morning.

From overnight a period of very light snow to light snow is still ongoing (Saturday 12:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. …) and of 12:15 p.m. dropped a varying amount in Arlington Heights from 0.5″ to 1.0″ — less than the potential 1.5″ that was in the forecast from 12 AM to 6 AM Saturday.
