If you are heading out on the roads today, be careful. Roads remain snow and ice covered across central and southern sections of both Illinois and Indiana. Sunshine is expected at times today which should help, but high temperatures will only be around 20.
Some township highway departments in the area pulled their trucks off the roads last night (Thursday) due to blowing and drifting snow. They planned to resume plowing as soon as it is safe to do so. The unofficial snow total for Danville from the storm is 15 inches.
The Winter Storm Warning is no longer in effect. It was replaced by a Winter Weather Advisory last evening due to continued blowing and drifting. In some areas brisk north winds were expected to possibly produce deep drifts overnight across portions of central, east-central, southeast and west central Illinois.
