More than a dozen Chicago schools announced closures Tuesday as a winter storm bringing heavy, wet snow and high winds was expected to hit the area.

Here's a look at what to do:
There's an easy way to track school closings across the state from public schools to private schools to daycares and more. The Emergency Closing Center lists closures of Chicago-area schools, businesses, daycare centers and other organizations.

You can also navigate to the list from the NBC Chicago homepage menu, under the "weather" section, click on "school closings."
