Visible satellite is really neat to look at because not only can it tell you where clouds or new storms systems might be developing, you can also use it to see where there is snow cover. The image on the left is a static image of the visible satellite from 11am. At first glance, it may look like there are clouds around but if we were to put it in motion you would notice the white over Illinois wasn't moving! Not only can you use it to see snow cover, but also ice that has formed on lakes. Click here for an animating image of both.
Unfortunately, skies will cloud back up by Friday ahead of an approaching system currently in the Rockies. This one may be close enough to brush us with some light snow Friday night into Saturday. And then again with another system Sunday night into Monday.
