Palatine and the Chicago area was hit by one of the few significant snow storms of the season overnight with 6 to 8 inches of snow falling in some areas.

No Palatine schools were listed on the Emergency Closing Center, although the Palatine Township Senior Center will not open until 10 a.m.

There have not been many storms of note this year. Heck, this is only the second time that I will have to shovel my driveway. So, we were do for a snow like this and given the fact March is right around th corner, it might be the last big snow we see for a while.

Also, the latest forecast has a high of 43 on Sunday, so enjoy the snow while it is here.
