The National Weather Service warned of slippery roads and hazardous travel conditions Sunday throughout northern Illinois. A winter weather advisory was issued for Northern Illinois counties, including Lake and McHenry, where up to an inch of snow and ice could accumulate.
Snow and sleet could continue on and off through Monday in counties north of Interstate 88, including parts of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake and McHenry, according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures are expected to stay in the 30s and likely won't crack 50 degrees until later in the week.
Thistles are covered in ice in Mundelein on Sunday after light snow mixed with rain fell overnight. Forecasters say suburban residents can expect more wintry weather Monday.
