The snow was expected to move north of the city to a line from Waukegan to DeKalb, but it appeared as though the areas along and south of I-80 were more favored for a longer period of snow. A band from Kankakee to Valparaiso, Indiana could bring as much as 1 to 3 inches of snow before clearing out around noon. Areas north will likely only see a dusting to half an inch.

Here's a look at totals from around the area as of 9:30 a.m.:
