Gov. J.B. Pritzker issued a disaster declaration for the entire state Tuesday as a massive winter storm was poised to sock parts of the Chicago area with almost a foot of snow.
Pritzker also had to change plans for his "State of the State" budget address, which will be held at the Old State Capitol building in Springfield and livestreamed online, instead of delivered in front of the entire General Assembly in person as originally planned.For the Chicago area, around six inches is expected for areas north of Interstate 80 and up to 11 inches for areas south of I-80.
If people do need to drive during the storm, Nate Rosenberry, assistant superintendent of the county’s Department of Transportation and Highways, encouraged motorists to have at least a half a tank of gas in their car and a fully charged phone as well as emergency supplies, including, but not limited to, a shovel, road salt, water and snacks, extra winter gear and blankets.
