Season's First Serious Snowstorm Headed Our Way

If the National Weather Service's forecast holds true, we're going to wake tomorrow to anywhere from two to four inches of snow.

A winter weather advisory has been issued for the Oswego area starting at midnight, which is when the white stuff is to start falling, and ending at 10 a.m. Wednesday. Should make for a lovely morning rush-hour commute.

The most intense part of the storm will be between 4 and 8 a.m. for north central Illinois and the Chicago suburbs, according to the most recent forecast.

Other affected areas include: Joliet, Chicago, Aurora, DeKalb, Wheaton, Ottawa and Morris.

Also, "very cold temperatures will make regular non-treated road salt less effective," the weather service said.

Tonight's low will be -3 degrees with windchill, relatively balmy compared to the -15 degrees with windchill expected during the day Wednesday. Without windchill temperatures are expected at 11 degrees tonight. 

Fortunate we have mid-20's to look forward to during the weekend.
