Winter Weather Advisories in effect for the entire Stateline and for the surrounding major cities of Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago. So wherever your plans take you this evening, you'll be impacted by this snow storm. Higher snowfall totals are expected to our south and east including Rochelle and DeKalb which can receive up to 6" by Wednesday morning. This is the most significant snow event for those areas which have gotten by without receiving much snow thus far this season.
Statistically, New Years Eve is the most dangerous driving day of the year and you couple that with a number of other factors that will make traveling even more serious: The heaviest snows will occur right at midnight so driving is not advised as we go into the overnight hours especially if you plan on drinking
at all. Make a plan on who your designated driver will be or where you'll be staying tonight. Also, the fact that temps are so frigid only getting into the single digits, snow plow salting is less effective so expect the roads to be in very poor conditions. Here's a video update from Meteorologist Max Tsaparis.- MT
