It took a while for the first big snowfall of the year, but this weekend many states across the Central US will see some heavy snow. Major highway in Iowa have already been closed early Saturday morning due to heavy snow.
We should expect at least a half foot of snow by Sunday night in Chicago and surrounding areas. This could be the start of what we had expected to be a snow-heavy winter. With sub-zero temps anticipated for next week, it will be interesting to see how this snowfall plays out.
As demonstrated in areas that received heavy snow over the past few days, highway pile-ups become more likely in wintry weather. Those traveling at highway speeds should therefore be particularly weather-wary this weekend.
Anyone planning air travel through airport hubs in this region should plan for flight delays and even cancellations as snowfall intensifies into Sunday.
“Blowing snow will reduce visibility to near zero at times and drifting snow will hinder all efforts to keep city roads clear of snow,”
