Roads provide driving trouble

Anyone driving today is most likely finding ice or snow covered roads across LaSalle County. The National Weather Service said Mendota received 3 inches of snow by late Saturday night. The wind was causing blowing and drifting on north/south roads.  Our Facebook followers have been sharing their experiences driving Sunday. Gusty northwest winds are expected to slow somewhat Sunday night and become more westerly.

But,  the Illinois Valley will experience wind chills down to 15 below zero Sunday night and possibly 20 below on Tuesday night.
