4:30 a.m. | 12/12/25 | Snowstorm and Road Condition Update

Dec. 12, 2025 (Peoria, IL) Snowfall tapered off around 1 a.m., leaving 2-3 inches of accumulation in areas throughout the City. With primary routes being the focus throughout the storm, the City of Peoria Snowfighters are now transitioning into neighborhoods to clear and treat residential streets.

Many roads across Peoria remain partially snow-covered and slick. While conditions are drivable, drivers should plan for a slower commute this morning. Drivers are urged to allow extra travel time, reduce speed, and increase following distance. Use additional caution when entering and exiting neighborhoods and remain alert to changing road conditions from block to block.

Road conditions are expected to steadily improve through the morning and into the afternoon. Crews will continue working in 12-hour, around-the-clock operations, concentrating on residential routes for most of the day. Snowfighters will then make a quick turnaround to prepare for another winter weather event expected tomorrow.

Although no City-wide parking ban is currently in effect, residents are encouraged to move vehicles off the street, if possible. This helps crews more effectively clear residential roads. Public Works also reminds residents to be good neighbors by clearing snow from public sidewalks around their homes. Keeping sidewalks accessible ensures safer travel for all.

For more information about the Department's winter operations, please call 309-494-8850.

Drive slowly, stay safe, and have a great morning.
