Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that heavy wet snow is headed their way which could be interpreted as a threat or danger to readers. Secondly, the author selectively reports information only mentioning Evanston and not other areas of northeastern Illinois that may also experience significant amounts of snowfall. Thirdly, the article uses science and health articles without linking to peer-reviewed studies which have not been retracted.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by citing the National Weather Service as a source of information. However, this does not necessarily mean that their predictions are accurate or reliable. Secondly, there is inflammatory rhetoric used in describing the travel conditions during and after the storm as 'hazardous'. This could be seen as an exaggeration and potentially misleading to readers. Lastly, there is a dichotomous depiction of snow amounts seen here being lower than what may hit some other areas of northeastern Illinois.
