During the afternoon hours, south of I-70, freezing rain and sleet could mix with the light snow, resulting in about two tenths of an inch of ice accumulation ontop of the snow. A second wave of accumulating snow will begin Saturday night and continue into Sunday morning, prodcing another 2-4 inches of snow. Total snowfall accumulations by Sunday morning will range from 3-5 inches northwest of I-72 to 6-8 inches to the southeast. A Snow Advisory and Winter Weather Warning have been issued for Central Illinois from 6 am Saturday through 6 am Sunday. Any small change in the track of this system will have a larger impact and the amounts and locations of the snowfall. Residents are encouraged to stay abreast of this winter weather situation throughout this weekend

It snows in the winter. What's the big deal.
