CHICAGO, IL — In anticipation of the biggest snowstorm so far this winter, schools in and around Chicago started announcing Friday closings on Thursday afternoon.
Northern Illinois will see at least 1 foot of snow by the time most classes would start, according to area meteorologists. The National Weather Service issued a storm warning from 6 p.m. Thursday through 9 p.m. on Friday for Will, Cook, DuPage and Lake counties.
Between 6 and 10 inches of snow were originally expected during that time, but the forecast later called for more like a 10- to 15-inch pileup.
