CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation has sent out over 200 salt trucks overnight as snow continues to fall Sunday morning.

The trucks will focus on addressing snow and ice along the city's arterial routes and DuSable Lake Shore Drive to make sure they're safe and passable for drivers.

CBS 2 Meteorologist Ed Curran reports snowfall will end by midday.

"DSS staff will continue to monitor the weather and ground conditions and will adjust resources when needed. Cooler temperatures are expected tonight, and residents are urged to take caution while traveling," the department said.
