The guidance did a horrible job resolving the strength of this band in northern IL.  The 18z runs generally had only about .2 liquid down for RFD by 03z, with even less than that toward ORD.

 

This is pretty much going to be a historic storm for that section of northern Illinois.

"The Chicago National Weather Service Forecast Office has updated the Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow (pink-shaded area on map above) to 7 to 13 -inches tonight and Saturday generally along and north of Interstate-80. Bands of heavy snow with embedded thunder will dump several inches per hour in some locations tonight into Saturday with many locations possibly recording a foot or more of snow before the snow ends from west to east Saturday afternoon." --Tom Skilling

The storm hasn't been going as well for Cedar Rapids.  We got off to a late start due to dry air and then, even once the main show commenced, the flakes were mostly small and the rate just wasn't very good.  As of 9:30 I still only had 2.5" and models had us getting our heaviest snow between 6 and 10pm.

 

On the other hand, my brother is getting blasted in Lake County, IL.

Yeah it's been pretty lame so far here as well.  Maybe 1.5".  Outside of the enhanced areas the rates are pretty meager.
