October breaks Chicago weather records: Halloween was the snowiest ever

October breaks Chicago weather records: Halloween was the snowiest ever
The end of October saw low temps, record snow, and high winds
The end of October is breaking a few different weather records, but the most dismal: It’s the snowiest Halloween on record.
It didn’t take much to beat 2014’s .1 inches of recorded snowfall, but by Thursday morning measurements at O’Hare Airport had recorded .2 inches. The forecast predicts that the Chicago metro area will get about 1 inch by nightfall, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Jake Petr in Romeoville.
Those living closer to the lakefront will likely see a mix of rain and snow, and those further west will get more snow, he said. The expected snowfall totals could get up to 3 inches as you move into the suburbs, and Rockford might even see more than 4 inches by the end of the day.
On Wednesday, Chicago had 1.2 inches of snow by 4 p.m. which broke a 100-year-old record snowfall for the day. The last highest snowfall on that day was in 1923, but only .7 inches of snow fell back then.
Wednesday was also the earliest snowfall over an inch since October 20, 1989. While “it’s not unheard of to get a good amount of snow” around this time of year, it hasn’t happened in a while, Petr said.
One thing to keep an eye out for is potentially icy roads on Thursday morning. As the system moves across the city and the lows get down into the 20s, some elevated roadways into Chicago are at risk for an icy commute, Petr said. However, the heart of the city is expected to be a bit warmer so there’s less of a chance downtown, he added.

The Bucktown proposal would replace the Vienna Beef hot dog factory at Damen and Elston
As Chicago’s North Branch Corridor prepares to welcome massive megadevelopments like Lincoln Yards and the River District, one group of developers wants to bring an upscale driving range to the rapidly-changing swath of former industrial land along the Chicago River.
The 9.3-acre proposal would replace the Vienna Beef factory. The hot dog manufacturer will maintain control of the property and offer it to Drive Shack under a long-term lease agreement.
On Wednesday night, at a community meeting hosted by Alderman Scott Waguespack (32nd), Bucktown neighbors got their first look at Drive Shack’s plan to build a dining and entertainment complex with 102 heated driving range bays at the northeast corner of the realigned Damen-Elston-Fullerton intersection.
Here, developers envisions a new three-story building designed by architecture and engineering firm Kimley-Horn. It includes indoor and outdoor dining areas and will be joined by a new 10-foot-wide riverwalk stretching from Fullerton to Damen. The plan calls for 336 surface parking spot, accessed from a curb cut on Elston Avenue.
“I think feedback overall was pretty positive,” 32nd Ward chief of staff Paul Sajovec tells Curbed Chicago. “There were lots of questions and constructive feedback about landscaping, the fencing, and the riverwalk and how it relates to the site’s urban context and the river.”
Traffic management remains a work in progress, according to Sajovec. The Chicago Department of Transportation has asked the developers to complete additional assessments. Meanwhile, Alderman Waguespack continues to collect feedback on the project and hasn’t ruled out holding additional meetings.
Although the Drive Shack project is shorter and less dense than what current zoning allows, its developers will need to enter a Waterway Planned Development agreement with the city due to its riverfront location. The process helps ensure that developments near the river include city mandated setbacks and riverwalk. The project filed its zoning application with the City Clerk in September, Crain’s reported at the time.
The Drive Shack team hopes to go before the Chicago Plan Commission in December and get final approval from Chicago’s Zoning Committee and City Council in the subsequent months. Under a “best-case scenario” timeline, the Bucktown project would score its building permits in the spring or summer and open in late 2020, says Sajovec.
