Lake-effect snow late this morning brought a heavy coating of snow to much of the North Side, providing a white Christmas to some.


As of about 11 a.m., 1 to 2 inches of snow coated the ground, mostly north of Belmont Avenue reaching from the lakefront to past Western Avenue.


Roadways were slick and some cars were seen spinning out, including on Lake Shore Drive, although south of Belmont the roads were mostly just wet.





The lake-effect snow showers could last throughout the day and into tomorrow, although they will be spotty and large amounts of accumulation are not expected.


Temperatures were expected to reach the low 30s on Christmas and only 31 on Wednesday, with overnight temps into the low 20s.
