After over 24 hours, the big Midwest snowstorm finally starts to clear out, but not after dumping as much as 10 inches of snow to portions of northern Illinois. Heavy snows continued into the evening before tapering off to flurries before midnight, but slippery roads lead to some issues for drivers in and near the town of La Salle near the junction of I-39 and I-80.
