"Last night when it was actively snowing on the way home, I decided to walk it. It's a 30 minute walk, and a 10 minute ride going there. Fresh snow on the ground, seems safer to walk," said North Kenwood resident John Downey.
"I saw it coming. I always get my hopes up that it's not going to happen after January and that of course isn't true," said Kenwood resident Marcy Denius.
The ABC7 StormTracker checked out conditions on Chicago area expressways Tuesday morning, with black ice causing some crashes and spinouts.
Overnight, there were multiple crashes in Indiana. Two semis and a FedEx truck crashes on westbound I-80/94 in Gary. On the Eastbound side of I80/94, an SUV and a semi collided just before Cline Avenue.
The mess started Monday afternoon and made driving home very treacherous throughout the area.
