"Chicago Prepares for Heavy Snowstorm as Winter Weather Advisory Takes Effect"

Chicago is bracing for its first "significant" snowstorm of the season, with 2 to 5 inches of snow and wind gusts up to 30 mph expected. A winter weather advisory is in effect from 8 p.m. until noon Tuesday, with slippery road conditions likely to impact the morning commute. The city is deploying over 200 salt spreaders to ensure safe road conditions, and drivers are urged to have emergency kits, full tanks of gas, and to yield to emergency vehicles and snow plows. The storm may be split into two rounds, with the possibility of rain instead of snow by midmorning Tuesday.
