The Cook County Highway Department has issued a no travel advisory for Cook County.

Heavy snow and high winds are causing limited visibility and dangerous travel conditions, Highway Engineer Robert Kimmel-Hass said.

"If conditions deteriorate such that we need to pull the plows off the roads, we will notify the public accordingly. Please stay home and stay safe."
