A winter weather advisory is now in effect until early Wednesday morning for Kendall County as blowing and drifting snow create slippery road conditions.

Along with the snow, wind gusts as high as 40 mph are expected, with the strongest winds occurring this evening, according to the National Weather Service. The area could see another 2 to 4 inches of snow.

Because of the storm, Oswego School District 308 and Newark School District 66 have switched to remote learning today. In addition, Yorkville School District 115′s schools are closed Tuesday and all scheduled activities – including all home and away athletic practices/contests and music rehearsals – are canceled.

“Travel on rural and open roadways is not recommended, which would be necessary for many students and staff attending our schools,” Oswego School District said in making the announcement.

The area could be hit with another storm on Friday. According to the latest forecast, Kendall County could see between 3 to 5 inches of snow starting Friday morning.
