Headed to Chicagoland tomorrow...

[GoofyTimL]

Should I take the "northern" route through Lima, OH, Ft. Wayne and US-30, or the longer way along I_70 over to Indy and up I-65?

We'll be spending the week in Wheeling with our son, D-I-L and grand daughter, Alivia. Guess we're taking the Heritage Edition with the snow tires instead of the MSRT8.

Let me hear some local road condition reports and/or forecasts along the northern route. I know that rain is expected tomorrow... any chance it will turn nasty icy, blizzardy, etc.

Thanks for any feedback.

I don't know about Indiana or Ohio but in Illinois the roads are clear and the temps are about 25 to 35 deg.

well the current forecast for the chicagoland area is about 3-5" snow tomorrow and tomorrow night - starting about 10am according to weather.com

I think it's supposed to be rain here tomorrow, but may be clear early. So I suppose we'll be driving into worse and worse weather. If the storm track is SW to NE what do you think the Lake Effect might be in northern IN?
