PEORIA, Ill. – The Peoria Department of Public Works is monitoring an approaching winter system forecasted to bring snow to the area this weekend.
Nick McMillion, Communications Specialist for Peoria Public Works, said the system is expected to move into the area around midnight Saturday, December 6, and last through approximately 9 a.m. Sunday, December 7.
Current forecasts project 1 to 2 inches of snow, with light accumulation expected through the early morning hours.
Public Works crews will be on hand and ready Saturday night as the system arrives.
Drivers should expect potentially slick roads overnight and during the morning hours on Sunday.
McMillion said Public Works encourages residents to exercise caution, reduce their speed, and allow for extra travel time when traveling during the snow event.
Residential plowing will occur after at least 2 inches of snow have accumulated, once arterial streets have been cleared, and snowfall has ended.
