Original story, 8:19 p.m.: Winter Storm Nemo, as it was named by The Weather Channel, has left some impressive snow totals across the region, with some areas seeing around 7 inches of heavy snow.

Early snowfall reports on the National Weather Service Chicago website show a range of totals, from 2 inches in Elk Grove Village at 6 p.m. to 7 inches in Beach Park.

The totals were reported to the National Weather Service by broadcast media, trained public, residents and CoCoRaHS, or the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network.

Here's a look at a sampling of totals from around the region and when those totals were reported to the National Weather Service:

  • Lake Bluff, 4.3 inches as of 5 p.m. The trained spotter reported 3.3 inches falling within two hours.
  • Wadsworth, 4.5 inches as of 3:05 p.m.
  • Mundelein, 5.1 inches as of 5:10 p.m.
  • Gurnee, 6 inches as of 5:10 p.m.
  • Northbrook, 4.6 inches as of 5:43 p.m.
  • Grayslake, 6.1 inches as of 6 p.m.
  • Beach Park, 7 inches as of 6 p.m.
  • Elk Grove Village, 2 inches as of 6 p.m.
  • McHenry, 5.3 inches as of 6 p.m.
  • Huntley, 4.6 inches as of 7 p.m.
  • Evanston, 2.1 inches as of 7:15 p.m.

We'll add more storm totals as they become available.

Snow is fun to walk in and play in. But be careful, don't slip and fall

Amen! And to think The Orchard Evangelical Free Church wants to raze 8 neighborhood homes to buildRead More a parking lot? Another loss of revenue for the village if these 8 homes get demolished.

I think that the police department does need a building. New national standards require separateRead More ventilation systems for prisoners to reduce unhealthy exposure. Also, new standards require "hardened" facilities to assure uninterrupted protection during emergencies. In addition, there are many more issues that after review seem reasonable. However, we don't need a new 71,000 square foot building which would rival in size, our current village hall - a building many call a Taj Mahal. The current process started on the wrong foot and wasted money. Three qualified consultants submitted bids and yet the contract was awarded to high-bidder. This has already wasted thousands of taxpayer dollars. Hopefully the new Board and Mayor will rein in the excessive spending and design. We have reason for hope. There is now a qualified and fiscally conservative architect on the Board. At the same time, it would nice to see if the Police could share some of the largely unused village hall. Doing so, would be a win-win for taxpayers.

ask the Police who work there , what is more important their pensions being funded , or someRead More """ air quality bs "" I would give a shower with a garden hose to any law braker anytime , some deodorant , hell I would even wash their cloth , meanwhile giving them nice pink pants and t-shirt the current police station is sufficient , but there must be a interest in building one and it is not a residents interest I am talking about - figure it out ( $$$$$$$)
