"Midwest Braces for Near-Blizzard Snow and Record-Low Temps"

A winter storm in the Chicago area has left roads covered in snow, leading to hazardous conditions and whiteouts, prompting a winter storm warning and the deployment of over 287 plow trucks and salt spreaders by the Department of Streets and Sanitation. The Illinois Department of Transportation advised drivers to take public transportation or work from home, as all roads are snow-covered, especially south of the I-80 corridor. Several road closures and crashes were reported, with delays and lane closures on multiple highways.
