⚠❄ UPDATE from the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office.

12/28/2025

Travel NOT advised! This means… if you get stranded or crash it is much, much longer to get to you. Stay home, stay safe.

🚨 Travel not Advised today due to deteriorating conditions.🚨

High winds and blowing snow are causing ice/snow covered road surfaces and visibility is reduced to near zero at times.

Unless you're an essential worker, stay home until conditions improve.
