"Onlookers near Libertyville's Associated Bank were briefly filled with youthful wonder and hope for snow late Wednesday when they saw large white flakes drifting through the air outside the drive-up teller window. But upon further inspection and a visit to www.weather.com , it was determined that the flakes are not snow. It is believed that an as-yet-unspecified tree in the parking lot may be the source of the flakes, though ash from a fire somewhere has not been ruled out."
