Major Lake-Effect Snow Event
"Some extremely cold air (for November) is rushing in across the Great Lakes behind Winter Storm Bozeman. The result will be significant lake-effect snow over a significant time period. Bands of lake-effect snow have already developed east of Lake Michigan and south of Lake Superior.. Parts of southwest Michigan could see 6"-10" of snow (with falling temperatures and gusty winds).

Areas up by Traverse City, Michigan could see 12"-18" through Tuesday with wind chills near 0. Parts of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (around Ironwood and east of Marquette could also see 12"-18"of snow (with gusty winds and wind chills below zero into Tuesday.

By this evening, bands of lake-effect snow will develop from northeast Ohio to western New York (Buffalo area). This will be a high impact event. Disruptions in transportation in the area is very likely! "

This article didn't talk much about the cold front that has hit Chicago, but there has definitely been some cold weather for the last week or so. There hasn't been much of a Fall season. It is 30 degrees today and has been snowing (flurries) on and off all day. This article doesn't focus much on Lake Michigan, but I'm sure this article can be applied to Chicago.
