Snow, Sleet, and Freezing Rain Expected in Northern Illinois This Week
Just when I thought us folks in Rockford and Northern Illinois would get off easy this winter, there's this.
It appears midweek, we're going to be dealing with some seriously treacherous driving conditions.

That's according to Eyewitness News Meteorologist Joey Marino.
Marino says in this week's weather run down on MyStateline.com:
...a system will lift out of the southern plains and enter the southern half of Illinois Wednesday night. Temperatures will start in the upper 20s, then slowly climb into the low 30s shortly after midnight. This will put us in an environment where mixed precipitation, such as snow, sleet, and freezing rain, will be more possible.
We've lucked out so far this season and we knew it was only a matter of time before we got something that was going to make us miserable weatherwise.

It's not like it's a foot of snow or anything, and better yet, it might not happen at all. As Marino goes on to say, "There are still a lot of ingredients that need to come together for this exact scenario to play out."
I've got my fingers crossed that we don't see anything of the sort. Why ruin a good thing?
