Wednesday morning commute

10:00am Update: The snow continues to wind down across northern Illinois, but heavier snow has been falling from Steward to Paw Paw in Lee County all morning.  That, too, will come to an end early afternoon, but the roads will remain snow covered and slick into the evening.









The snow continues to fall, but will weaken in coverage through mid-morning.  But, not before dropping nearly 3" of snow in Jo Daviess County from Scales Mound, Elizabeth and Galena. 

Untreated roads will be slick and snow covered, so allow extra time on the morning commute.  Flurries will continue into the afternoon under cloudy skies.  The snow will end by tonight, but some area roads may remain slick as temperatures fall below freezing.
