Special Weather Statement
Issued: 1:37 AM Dec. 15, 2025 – National Weather Service
...BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW LIKELY MONDAY MORNING...

Recent fluffy snowfall from Saturday in combination with bitterly
cold temperatures and 20-30 mph southwesterly winds will result
in a period of blowing and drifting snow Monday morning. Blowing
snow will lead to sharply reduced visibilities and snow covered
roads which will make travel hazardous, particularly on east-west
oriented roads.

Motorists should be prepared for rapidly changing conditions
Monday morning across north-central Illinois and west-central
Indiana. If you encounter blowing and/or drifting snow be sure to
slow down and use low beams. In addition, bring an emergency kit
that includes extra clothing, and notify someone where you are
going and when you plan to arrive in case you get stuck.
