Moderate snow continues to fly Sunday afternoon with most reporting 1" to 2", isolated 3" totals, so far.  The snow has dropped visibility down to less than half a mile over Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin under the more moderate snow bands.

Roads remain snow covered and slick with temperatures holding steady in the upper teens.  Southeast winds should diminish a little into the evening, but blowing and minor drifting will continue in open areas until sunset.

Once the low moves away from Northern Illinois the steady snow should slowly come to an end.  This looks to be around 7pm.  However, moisture remains in the lowest level of the atmosphere so flurries or even freezing drizzle will continue until roughly Midnight.

The Winter Weather Advisory remains in place in through Sunday evening for most of Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin.
