It's going to snow tonight. The temperature has dropped about 35 degrees since yesterday afternoon and the sky is milky.

Of course the rule of television news is that you have to send a camera crew out to the airport (because flights are delayed due to snow--this is, you know, news) and WGN has, indeed, sent someone out to O'Hare to determine that, even though there is no actual snow yet, there will be snow and therefore delays (bring on the visuals of groggy visitors dozing uncomfortably in airport chairs).

But no snow yet and so, in a bold move, the station sent Juan Carlos Fanjul (rhymes with "Tool") out to the city's road salt storage facility for the broadcast's lead story. There will be salt dispersal vehicles on the go, per Fanjul.
