Dangerous wind chills to sweep Illinois after snow

CHICAGO (AP) - Dangerous wind chills as low as 30 degrees below zero are forecast to move in behind a snowstorm that left as much as 6 inches of snow in parts of central Illinois.

National Weather Service meteorologist Kevin Birk says the heaviest band of snow whipped through the central part of Illinois, across Livingston, Ford and Iroquois counties.

Farther north, O'Hare International Airport reported 2 inches.

According to FlightAware.com, more than 130 flights in and out of Chicago's two airports were canceled. The vast majority of them were at O'Hare.

The coldest wind chills are set to blow in late Tuesday and into Wednesday.

The weather forced some school cancellations, including in Galesburg in west-central Illinois.

A Crystal Lake school closed because of a burst water pipe.
