Snow radar returns are filling in nicely in Central IL

Champaign is sitting close to the heavy band but it is not moving much. I wonder if the light snow returns showing up over Champaign are actually reaching the ground.

Wow

Radar showing some changeover to snow already near Joliet. Not sure how accurate that is but its interesting.

Heavy returns moving towards me from the south. Will rip IF they are all snow 

about to be temporarily dry sloted got about  1-1.5 inches from the band.

We have changed over to snow in Northbrook

Rain mixed with some sleet/graupel in Northbrook currently.

Probably in the morning.  Conditions wouldn't really go downhill until afternoon though.

When do you all think precip will most likely start for the Chicago metro area? I know a bunch of people driving back to school then including me and definitely want to leave the area before this hits (driving down to Champaign). Been following this thread for a bit (as usual) and seems like it might be a big one that I will sadly miss out on.

Having an issue currently trying to figure out flight times for my sister who is flying from ORD to DSM Sunday. The flight was originally leaving 9pm this Sunday but today we changed it to leave ORD at 9am Sunday. Not sure what to do at this point because it looks like either way might be bad.

Snow is starting now in Chambana!

Edit: more like freezing rain!

Excited to see what unfolds tomorrow evening here at UIUC!
