Last Weekend’s Snow Totals

So, how much snow did we get here in Kane County over the past weekend?

Plenty is the short answer — more than 6 inches for most places north of I-88 and a whopping 9.0 in Algonquin.

To be clear, the Algonquin totals were actually on the McHenry County side of the border, but since a good portion of Algonquin is in Kane, were’ putting them on the top of the snow-total list.

This highest official Kane County total was 7.5 inches in Lily Lake, according to stats provided by the National Weather Service Chicago.

The widespread snow event occurred on Friday night, Jan 18, through midday on Saturday, Jan 19.
