The first snow of the season was wet and beautiful as it fell Thursday morning on Naperville’s Riverwalk. While short-lived — forecasts call for temperatures in the 40s Friday and Saturday and possibly as high as 50 Sunday — it was very real for anyone traveling by car or foot Thursday, with slick roads, foggy conditions and sidewalks slippery enough to need salt.

The first snow to fall in Naperville this winter season was wet and blustery, with temperatures cold enough on Thursday, Nov. 21, for it to stick to the ground and cause slippery conditions for motorists and pedestrians. (Tess Kenny/Naperville Sun)
