Two storm systems are expected to reach McHenry County on Friday and Sunday, dumping a total of between 3 to 5 inches more snow on the area.<\/p>\n
An average of 7 to 9 inches accumulated from Tuesday\u2019s local snowfall.<\/p>\n
An inch more is expected before 6 a.m. today, when the National Weather Service planned to call off the winter storm warning.<\/p>\n
This morning\u2019s commute shouldn\u2019t be as rough, although wind gusts of 25 mph to 30 mph could cause some driving hazards.<\/p>\n
Dozens of vehicles were involved in non-serious crashes on slick roads Tuesday night. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe only problems will be in exposed areas on east-west roads, with blowing and drifting of snow,\u201d said meteorologist Paul Merzlock with the National Weather Service. \u201cFor the most part, the falling snow won\u2019t be a factor anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n As of Tuesday evening, Bull Valley had received about 6.7 inches of snowfall. In Island Lake, at least 7.5 inches fell.<\/p>\n As much as 11.5 inches accumulated in parts of neighboring Lake County, Merzlock said.<\/p>\n A high temperature of 23 degrees and a low of 8 degrees is expected for today, with temperatures reaching 25 degrees Thursday.<\/p>\n A new storm might bring an inch of light snowfall to the area on Friday afternoon or evening, with a second system developing by Sunday, Valentine\u2019s Day. Merzlock predicted a maximum of 2 to 4 inches of precipitation during that storm.<\/p>\n \u201cNeither one of those look anywhere near as significant as [Tuesday\u2019s],\u201d Merzlock added.<\/p>\n No schools were reported closed for today as of late Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n Faith Lutheran High School in Crystal Lake and St. Margaret Mary Catholic School in Algonquin were closed Tuesday. A few after-school activities and government board meetings also had been canceled.<\/p>\n Metra commuters traveling to McHenry County Tuesday night saw a 45-minute delay as a Crystal-Lake bound train on the Union Pacific Northwest Line struck a vehicle about 8:10 p.m. at River Road at the Des Plaines station. It had left downtown Chicago about 7:30 p.m. and originally was due to arrive in Crystal Lake at 8:55 p.m.<\/p>\n An unnamed woman riding in the vehicle died, and another person traveling with her was taken to Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge with unknown injuries.<\/p>\n Metra spokesman Michael Gillis did not have further details about the crash or those involved Tuesday night.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know why the car was on the tracks,\u201d Gillis said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s weather-related.\u201d<\/p>\n By AMBER KROSEL, akrosel@nwherald.com<\/a><\/p>\n Read the original article from the Northwest Herald<\/a>.<\/p>\n The bulk of this week\u2019s snowstorm is over, but more might be coming.
