The biggest winter storm of the winter season so far is set to hit the Chicago area Wednesday, bringing several inches of snow to much of the region.

The new sidewalk in Madison County IL is part of the third of four phases to connect Center Grove Road to Schwarz Street.

This system will bring rain to most areas today and on Saturday and then develop windy conditions during the weekend. Cloudy. Very high chance of rain. The chance of a thunderstorm on the plains.
