The National Weather Service in Chicago has issued a winter storm warning for norhern Illiinois, including the entire Channahon and Minooka region, and is calling for heavy snow. The warning is in effect from 3 a.m. Tuesday to midnight CST Tuesday night.
According to the report, light snow is expected to spread across the Kankakee area into northwest Indiana tonight and become more intense toward daybreak Tuesday. How intense, you ask?
Snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches with locally higher amounts is possible. And the snow could come down at a rate of 1 to 1.5 inches per hour. This will make snow removal difficult and render travel extremely hazardous.
Temperatures are expected to hover right around the freezing mark for much of the day Tuesday. For tips on snow removal and safety, check out these links:

We have become "sissy-fied" as a nation. "Snow storm?" Come on, a snow storm to me is 18 inches and above. As far as schools closing,we are getting like the east coast. 1-2 inches of snow, and we are closing eveything. Come on cupcakes, let's all put your big boy and girl pants on and stop whining about some snow!

I think it's blessing, most of us are way to busy with work, school, appointments, kids activities, life in general to slow down, this is nature's way of forcing us to. Bring on the snow and all the closings that come along with it. Spark up the fire place, pull out the game boards (not game boys ect.), get out the snow boots & pants and enjoy your family!!

FP, that fun will be later! Scully, you can't be afraid of some snow. I am always worried about my kids too! Like I said, this country has to stop being cowards! My children had t-ball over the summer, and it was canceled because there was a prediction of a thundertstorm. Ironically, there was not one f-ing cloud in the sky! When did everyone become afraid of snow and a little rain??? Nothing but pansies! Time for me to stop whining! Got stuff to do. Unlike, all the mom's texting away on your phones, and watching fat oprah reruns, I will be doing 3 loads of laundry and actually entertaining my kids!
