Carrie Cochran anchoring and giving status of roads; Jacqui Adams giving school district closing information (District 99 was mine! Woo-hoo! Snow day!); Bruce Roberts gives various sports' game cancellations; and Carrie Cochran reports on roof collapses including one at Voss Electric Company at 7723 South State Street.
Partial Commercial: The Suitery (rest of the break cut-out unfortunately)
Trivia Note: WBBM-TV anchor Carrie Cochran was once married to Bob Sirott. (Where is she now I wonder?)
