From the Chicago Tribune: The first snow of the season hit the Chicago area midday, the leading edge of a fast-moving storm that left a dusting or more of snow on the ground in some places and tied a record for snowfall at Chicago's official weather station for Oct. 22.
Around noon, snow was reported in Naperville, Downers Grove, Westmont, LaGrange and Kane County. Light snow was also reported in Aurora and the DuPage Airport, according to the National Weather Service.
A trace of snow fell at O'Hare this afternoon, the first time any snow has fallen on Oct. 22 at the city's official weather station since 1937. And since only a trace has ever fallen in Chicago on Oct. 22, the snowfall amount tied the record snowfall for the date. In addition to 1937, trace amounts of snow also fell on Oct. 22, 1935 and Oct. 22, 1922, according to the weather service.
Midway Airport weather observer Frank Wachowski reported that snow began at Midway Airport at 12:20 pm and continued until 12:40 p.m., when it changed to rain, according to the Chicago Weather Center. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-first-flakes-on-their-way-20131022,0,1140533.story

Global warming (also known as climate change) promises weird, wacky weather. Not just warming. I really don't know how science became a political football, or what would be in it for climate scientists to lie. I guess we'll see if Rush Limbaugh's house ends up under water.
