Streets And San Sends Out 211 Snow Plows, Salt Spreaders For Snow During Evening Rush

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Department of Streets and Sanitation has dispatched 211 salt spreaders and snow plows for the evening commute with lake-effect snow falling in the Chicago area.

They will focus on clearing ice and snow from major streets and Lake Shore Drive.

Lake-effect snow is expected to persist on and off through the evening, which could make for slick road conditions.

Light snow showers will come to an end late Wednesday, leaving cloudy and cold conditions for the evening.

The low for Wednesday night is 3, with wind chills dropping to -10.
