LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: A winter storm could cause some travel havoc from the Midwest to the Northeast today. It is snowing for the morning commute around the Chicago area and it could get a lot worse there. Our Chicago bureau chief, Jeff Flock, joins us now live from the Windy City suburb of Park Ridge. Jeff, is it getting any worse out there since we last talked?</s>JEFF FLOCK, CNN CHICAGO BUREAU CHIEF: You bet, Leon, getting a little bit worse, and they say it will get worse yet before it quits. This storm was, as we reported earlier, supposed to come in overnight, and they hope to have things cleared by the morning commute, but now, right in the teeth of the morning commute, is when the heaviest snow is falling. Already a couple of inches on the ground, they say it could be as many as nine, or perhaps even a foot of snow before it's done. Latest report out from O'Hare Airport, we're not too awfully far from O'Hare Airport, they say, as of now, 200 flights canceled at O'Hare alone this morning, about a hundred of those canceled last night peremptorily. This is the commuter station here in Park Ridge, Illinois. As we say, we are right now in the teeth of rush hour, and not much of a rush this morning. This community, though, is one that's outside Chicago, about 33,000 people. And to give you an indication about how seriously communities like this take the snow, 33,000 people in town, 26 plows and salt trucks, and they tell us they're in plan A this morning, which means that all 26 of them and all of their staff is out on the road. We will continue to watch this as this snow continues, and then, perhaps later in the afternoon even intensifies before dropping off. That's the latest from Park Ridge, Illinois. I'm Jeff Flock, CNN, reporting live.</s>HARRIS: All right, thanks, Jeff.
