In Chicago and surrounding areas, the storm began as rain in south of the city before it changed to wet heavy snow that was expected to fall through midnight Sunday.

Chicago Department of Street and Sanitation deployed more than 200 salt trucks Saturday to sweep the roads.

Weather officials said heavy snow would hit large sections of the nation possibly in the Central Plains, Mid-Mississippi Valley and the Lower Great Lakes.

Arctic air would move into the region after the storm, when temperatures may plunge into subzero and the wind chills below zero, weather officials said.
