The snow ends in the early overnight hours. 

A wintry mix of snow and freezing rain will be possible into early Saturday for areas south of Chicago. Another round of snow develops late Saturday into Sunday, with 1 to 2 inches of snow possible. Put together all the snow chances for the week, we are on target to pick up anywhere from 2 to 4 inches from Friday into Saturday.
