The
National Weather Service has issued an ice storm warning in effect from 6 tonight to 6 a.m. Wednesday for the Chicago region, including Glenview. Significant icing is expected due to freezing rain. Ice accumulations of one-tenth to four-tenths of an inch is expected. Some sleet may mix with the freezing rain early in the evening.
Power outages and tree damage are possible due to the ice. Travel could be nearly impossible on untreated surfaces. The hazardous conditions may impact the evening commute.
Glenview Public Works crews will be salting roads, as well as Village-owned parking lots, the Glen Town Center and sidewalks around the Police Department and Village Hall.
Significant amounts of ice accumulation will make travel dangerous and is strongly discouraged. If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food and water in your vehicle in case of emergency. Snapped power lines and falling tree branches are also possible.
Remember that on-street parking from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. from December 1 to March 31 is prohibited. Additionally, refraining from parking on Village streets is appreciated during significant weather events.
At this time, Groot intends to pick up trash and recycling Wednesday as scheduled. Usual service times along the Wednesday routes, however, may be delayed depending on weather conditions.
