THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IS READY TO TACKLE THE ROADS AS A WINTER STORM MOVES IN TO THE STATE.

SNOWPLOWS WILL BE OUT DOING ALL THEY CAN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE CHALLENGING SAYS I-DOT SPOKESPERSON PAUL WAPPEL.

WAPPEL SAYS IT’S BEST TO STAY HOME IF YOU CAN DURING THE STORM AND IF YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL, MAKE SURE YOU PACK AN EMERGENCY KIT FOR YOUR CAR.
