Winter Weather Update

5:30pm Update:  Snow totals have varied a bit across the Stateline especially within the areas that have seen more of a mix versus where all snow has fallen - also several locations have had blowing and drifting.  We did have a brief period of a mix of rain/freezing rain/snow earlier this afternoon but it has now since changed over to snow across the Rockford area.  Locations that have seen the bulk of the precipitation fall as snow will likely have totals closer to 5"- 6" and a little less where there has been more of a mix.  There is snow on the backside of this system in eastern Iowa which could add another inch or so by Tuesday morning.  Roads will continue to remain slick throughout this evening so remember to use caution if headed out tonight. 

If you have any snowfall totals you can email them to: weather@wtvo.com!



WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS THROUGH TONIGHT/EARLY TOMORROW MORNING

Moderate snow will continue through this afternoon and is expected to mix in with sleet/freezing rain as warm air continues to move northward across Illinois.  Right now temperatures are sitting in the low 30s and taking a glance outside the snow flakes have actually gotten a little bigger and have mixed in some with freezing rain.  Also noted were a few plain rain showes across the region.  Expect this to continue through the evening.  Roads will remain snow covered so be careful later today.  This will likely cause roads to become a little slushy.
