"Snowy Conditions Ahead for Chicago Area as Winter Weather Advisory Takes Hold"
Residents of the Chicago area are bracing for a winter storm that is expected to dump several inches of snow on Sunday morning. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory, which will be in effect from midnight to 9am, warning of hazardous road conditions and reduced visibility.
The storm is expected to bring between 3-6 inches of snow to the area, with the highest amounts falling north of I-80. However, areas south of the interstate could also see a wintry mix, making travel conditions even more treacherous.
"We urge everyone to use caution when traveling," said weather officials. "The snow could cause hazardous road conditions, and we want to make sure everyone gets home safely."
To prepare for the storm, Chicago's Department of Streets and Sanitation is deploying over 220 snowplows onto the city's major arterial streets, DuSable Lake Shore Drive, and on bridges and underpasses.
Temperatures are expected to plummet overnight, with highs in the high teens on Sunday morning. However, by late Sunday afternoon, the temperature may rise into the upper 20s with mostly sunny skies.
As the storm clears, residents can expect temperatures to drop back into the teens by Sunday evening. The National Weather Service is warning of a narrow band of heavier snow expected to develop roughly around the I-88 corridor, with snowfall rates exceeding 1 inch per hour for several hours.
Stay safe and stay informed as this winter weather advisory takes hold in the Chicago area.

I was thinking we need to rethink our airport security, like how they're gonna deal with all these delayed flights and cancellations. I'm a big fan of planes, love flying, but this is just so frustrating... snow day yay, but also my flight's cancelled 
hope everyone stays safe out there 
those 220+ snowplows better be ready though! 
gotta wonder what the city's gonna look like after all that snow melts away 
3-6 inches of snow sounds like a lot but i guess its always better 2 b safe than sorry, rite? 
i'm literally making sure my car is all gassed up and stocked w/ snacks and hot chocolate for the road. also, have u seen those 220+ snowplows they're deploying? 
that's like, a whole lotta snow removal goin on!
. And can we pls just have a decent search function? It's like they're trying to make it hard for us to find what we need 
... and of course, our posts are getting buried under tons of spam 
. It's gonna be a pretty cold day Sunday morning, so bundle up! 
Temperatures do seem to drop back down quickly after that, so at least it won't be too long before we're all bundled up again 
. Just hope the I-88 corridor doesn't get slammed too hard, that's just a recipe for disaster 
anyway, gotta give it to them, city's all prepared with those snowplows - over 220?! that's some serious infrastructure 
... or worse! 
! I'm all about cozying up indoors with a warm cup of coffee 
️, but I know some folks have to venture out on these icy roads 
. Glad the city's snowplows are ready to roll out – 220+ plows is no joke! 
A little snow never hurt anyone... right? 
. Got my warmest clothes ready and stocked up on hot cocoa, fingers crossed for minimal disruption 
anyway, just take it easy and drive slow if you gotta venture out. stay warm and safe everyone! 
i'm still trying to wrap my head around all these inches of snow... 3-6? is that even possible in chicago? 
. Glad they're deploying all those snowplows, but hope people take the warning seriously and stay off roads unless absolutely necessary. 3-6 inches is a lot for Chicago to handle 
I'm just trying to wrap my head around how fast it can get cold here. Brrr... 
. got my snow boots ready lol. dont wanna be stuck on the side of the road w/ all that nasty ice & snow
