SOUTHERN ILLINOIS — With the first blast of winter potentially arriving in our region, the Illinois Department of Transportation reminds the public to bookmark GettingAroundIllinois.com for continually updated information on road conditions.

GettingAroundIllinois.com is available on your computer and optimized for smartphones.

The site includes the ability to identify and zoom in to a location, travel route, or destination on a state map.

Road conditions are reported by plow drivers out in the field and relayed to GettingAroundIllinois.com through a cloud-based system to provide a general overview of IDOT-maintained highways.

The National Weather Service is predicting light snowfall accumulations are possible from the Ozark foothills to near Mt. Vernon, IL tonight.

A second system is then expected to move in Tuesday with wind and another chance for accumulating snow.
