The Chicago weather forecast calls for significant snow this week, along with gusty winds on Thursday and Friday.
Shopping, shoveling, salting: How people and officials are preparing for the storm
The same could be seen in other suburbs like Oak Forest. Because it's the first snow event of the season, most towns have a full supply of salt. Suburban public works directors are closely following the forecast, and took part in a call with the National Weather Service. Federal emergency management officials are urging people to be cautious and reconsider their travel plans.
And last-minute shoppers as well as some who placed holiday gift orders online flocked to the stores, unable to wait any longer. Some were getting an earlier start than their usual Christmas Eve shopping plans, while others were no longer confident in their online orders arriving in time, so were out buying backup gifts.
