Breaking a Few Records!

Today has already gone down in the history books for some places across Northern Illinois. Snow this morning came down in surprisingly heavy amounts...adding to about an inch just north of the Rockford metro area. Officially we've only seen about a trace so far (as of 1pm) at the Rockford Airport. But it was on this date back in 1909 that we picked 0.2" of snow...going down as the earliest measurable snowfall on record. If we see anymore snow, we could very well tie the record! However, it has already begun to melt from the peeks of sunshine earlier today.

On average our first snowfall is usually in the middle of November, but this year has already proven to be anything but average! -CANDY
