Find out where snowplows are in real time using the Village's snowplow tracker.

ORLAND PARK, IL — As the Chicago area braces for a winter storm poised to hit Sunday into Monday, Orland Park residents can keep their eye on local plows.

Snow is expected Sunday into Monday, with the highest amounts of accumulation expected south of Interstate 80, across central Illinois and Indiana. As of early Friday, the system's exact track was still unclear.

Residents can track plows' paths using the Village's Snowplow Coverage Map. Find out when plows will reach you or other areas in your town. Snowplow coverage is represented by blue points, with darker blue points representing more recent coverage. Use the Village OP311 system to report dangerous road conditions or weather-related concerns at orlandpark.org/op311.
