Light snow this morning

(11:58:33 AM) nwsbot: LOT: Rockford [Winnebago Co, IL] official nws obs reports SNOW of M1.1 INCH at 11:58 AM CST -- snowfall through 18z.


(10:47:26 AM) nwsbot: LOT: Rockford [Winnebago Co, IL] broadcast media reports SNOW of M1.0 INCH at 10:33 AM CST -- one inch of snow at wtvo-tv.


Noon Update: Back edge of the snow continues to move through southern Wisconsin at the noon hour.  Untreated roads will remain slick as light snow/flurries continue through mid-afternoon. 


9:00 am Update: The steady snow continues to expand and move south stretching from southeast Wisconsin through North-Central Illinois and into the Quad Cities.  We're already starting to see the moderate snow fall here in Rockford.  It is within these bands that some of the inch and a half to two inches could fall.  Roads may be a little on the slick side so just make sure to drive carefully this morning.


Light snow will continue through the morning producing about an inch or two by this afternoon.  There are a few heavier bands that are moving through Beloit down through Freeport and into Mt. Carroll this morning and those will continue to push southward.  That, along with the fog, may help to drop visibility down in some locations.  We'll likely see flurries continue into the afternoon.
