Untreated roads are beyond slippery due to an accumulation of ice and freezing rain.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 9 a.m. for practically the entire Chicago area. The advisories extend until noon in north suburban Lake and McHenry counties.

Kenosha County, Wisconsin, will be under a Winter Weather Advisory until 2 p.m.
