Winter Storm Watch

I just read this while surfing the web and I thought all the snow on the ground was gonna melt.
What do I know.

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN CHICAGO IL HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORMWATCH.

THE WINTER STORM WATCH IS FOR THAT PART OF NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA ALONG AND NORTH OF THE KANKAKEE AND ILLINOIS RIVERS. SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS OF ICE FROM FREEZING RAIN ARE LIKELY OVERNIGHT MONDAY AND THROUGH THE DAY TUESDAY. A MIX OF WINTER WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD THE WATCH AREA MONDAY EVENING. IT WILL START AS SOME LIGHTER SNOW AND SLEET THEN CHANGE TO FREEZING RAIN OVERNIGHT MONDAY NIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. THE FREEZING RAIN MIXED WITH SOME SLEET ACROSS FAR NORTHERN ILLINOIS IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY TUESDAY. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A QUARTER TO A HALF INCH OF ICE ACCUMULATION IN THE WATCH AREA FROM THE FREEZING RAIN. THERE MAY ALSO BE SIGNIFICANT SLEET ACCUMULATIONS NORTH OF AN EVANSTON TO ELGIN TO MOUNT MORRIS LINE. CHECK SUPPLIES OF FOOD AND FUEL AS TRAVEL MAY BECOME VERY DIFFICULT. ELECTRIC POWER MAY BE INTERRUPTED DUE TO HEAVY ICE GLAZING DOWNING POWER LINES. CHECK THE LATEST FORECAST BEFORE MAKING TRAVEL PLANS.
