AURORA (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - Aurora is getting ready for several days of extreme cold and wind - plus some snow.
The head of Aurora’s Emergency Management Agency Natalie Wiza is expecting 2 to 4 inches of snow.
“Being from Illinois we can easily say that 2 to 4 inches is no big deal. But I want to stress that the hazards of focus for this storm are the whiteout conditions and the sustained strong winds and the below zero temperatures, leading to frostbite on exposed skin in as little as ten minutes.”
Aurora’s Public Works Director Ken Schroth has some advice for drivers.
“Visibility will be low and streets may be icy and road salt fairly ineffective at these cold temperatures. So, it is more important than ever to keep a safe distance between all vehicles,” Schroth said.
“We need your help. We need your shovels. We need your snow blowers,” Aurora Mayor Richard Irving said.
