Advisory Extended for Western Counties Until Noon Tomorrow

Stephenson, Jo Daviess, Carroll, and Whiteside counties have seen their Winter Weather Advisory extended by the NWS out of the Quad Cities until noon tomorrow. In the meantime, the eastern counties (in Chicago NWS's area of responsibility) remain under the same advisory until 10am. As of this writing, snow is beginning to change over to graupel and even freezing drizzle in many areas, which will cause slick spots on secondary roads, bridges, and overpasses by tomorrow morning. Ice may also accumulate on untreated sidewalks and driveways, especially to the south of Rockford where the change-over to freezing drizzle is already occuring.
