Lemont Winter Storm: E-Learning Day For D113A, LHS

LEMONT, IL — Lemont will be under a winter storm warning early Friday, as a winter storm could bring blizzard conditions to the area.

Snow accumulations could be greater than six inches, and winds could be as high as 50 mph, according to the National Weather Service. With these conditions, some closures of services are possible Friday.

Here's a look at the winter storm impact in Lemont:

District 113A will have an e-learning day on Friday.

Lemont High School will have an e-learning day on Friday.

All Lemont Park District youth programming, including preschool classes, held before 3 p.m. on Friday are canceled.

SS. Cyril and Methodius School will be closed Friday.

Montessori School of Lemont will be closed Friday.

Lemont Public Library is closed on Friday.

The Village will enforce odd-even parking regulations on Sunday and Monday. Residents should remove vehicles from Village streets, so plows can clear the snow.

The day is considered to begin at 9 a.m., according to the notification from the Village. If removing vehicles is not possible, park on the odd numbered side of the street on odd calendar days, and on the even numbered side of the street on even calendar days.

Waste Management will begin its service at 5 a.m. on Friday due to the weather.

Cook County's Department of Transportation and Highways said it is monitoring conditions and has resources on standby to keep county roads safe.

“Don’t crowd the plows while they are working to clear the roads,” said Ed Tully, DoTH maintenance bureau chief. “Your best bet is to stay a safe distance behind the plow so you can drive over freshly plowed and salted roadways.”

Residents should also keep an emergency kit in their vehicles, which could include items like a shovel, windshield scraper, flashlight with extra batteries, water, snack food, matches and small candles, extra winter clothing, first aid kit, pocketknife, emergency flares, jumper cables, tow chain and blankets.
