Snow is expected to start late Monday evening and continue through Tuesday morning. A second round of snow is predicted for Tuesday afternoon. The National Weather Service has estimated snowfall totals of between 2 and 5 inches to fall on the Chicago area.

Palos Heights
Street parking is prohibited when there is an excess of one-inch of snow.

Palos Hills
Parking is prohibited on Palos Hills streets from 2 to 6 a.m. and no parking on streets ever when there is 2-inches or more of snow.

Palos Park
The Palos Park Public Works Department's primary objective during winter is to keep approximately 29 miles of roads free from snow and ice through plowing and salting operations. The public works crew needs four to five hours to plow the entire village under normal plowing conditions. The first priority of salting is to apply calcium chloride or salt to hills, turns, and intersections as conditions warrant. Once the snow has stopped falling and during the last plow through the area, salt is applied to streets where needed. During icing or freezing rain conditions, the salting of village streets is a priority.
