Naperville is under an Ice Storm Warning beginning at 6 p.m. this evening through 6 a.m. tomorrow, Feb. 6. Significant icing is expected due to freezing rain, with up to four tenths of an inch of ice possible. This level of icing will make travel extremely dangerous this evening and overnight.
Public Works will have all 22 of its trucks salting area roadways beginning at 4 p.m. today. Although rain is not expected to begin until around 5:30 to 6 p.m., the goal is to treat roadways as much as possible prior to rush hour. It’s important to note that the rain could easily wash salt off roadways, making treatment efforts less effective. Crews will also be extensively salting train station platforms and commuter parking lots, and once these areas are treated, parking lots and sidewalks in the downtown.
Residents are strongly discouraged from traveling this evening and overnight. Please stay off the roads. Consider altering your evening commute to an earlier time, if possible. Public Works will be out salting through the night until conditions become too slippery for salt trucks to safely maneuver roads.
If you must travel, use extreme caution. Slow down, leave additional distance between vehicles, and use extreme care when walking on sidewalks, in parking lots, and at the train station platforms. Ice storms can cause downed tree limbs due to the weight of ice on branches. Please report any downed parkway tree limbs to City Dispatch at (630) 420-6187.
