They updated the amounts to 10-12" for most of northern I'll Including our area,to 12-15" north of a line from Morris to kankakee into Indiana. I am getting scared of this storm due to its strength to knocking out power and having no heat and. End up freezing to death. It gets freezing cold in this house in 5 minutes when power goes out and no heat.
