Mayor Rahm Emanuel was briefed this afternoon by Department of Streets and Sanitation Commissioner Charles Williams at Snow Command on this weekend's snow and ice removal operations.

“Snow plow drivers did a tremendous job throughout Saturday morning responding to the ice, snow and rain impacting Chicago streets," said Mayor Emanuel. "City drivers are on alert and are prepared to respond to snowfall again early Sunday morning."

Safety is the City's top priority, and motorists are urged to be patient and cautious when driving during inclement weather, and to drive according to the conditions.
