ABC7 Accuweather Meteorologist Tracy Butler said between one to four inches of snow fell from overnight Thursday into Friday morning.
Conditions will become colder and windy in the afternoon, with lake-effect snow possible along the lakeshore in Illinois as well as in Northwest Indiana.
The conditions have led to a ground stop at O'Hare Airport, which was lifted at around 7:30 a.m.
Snow plows and salt spreaders have been working to clear the expressways. While the snowfall was short-lived, it did cause some headaches for drivers.
It was a messy evening commute for many drivers, especially close to the Illinois-Wisconsin border. Car crashes piled up along I-94. A jack-knifed semi caused a big backup.
Other vehicles were crashing or getting stuck in ditches thanks to the burst of snow.
The Round Lake area dealt with hazardous road condition, too. Emergency crews responded after one driver slammed into a mailbox.
