First Measurable Snow?

Although it looks like a pretty active week of weather for much of the Stateline with flurries possible late Thursday or early Friday, significant snow will probably avoid the area until the weekend. An arctic front will drop in from Canada sometime Saturday night or Sunday morning. Along this front, we could see some accumulating snows across the Stateline. If an inch or more of snow were to accumulate on Sunday, this would be "right on cue". Sunday is December 4th. Rockford's long-term average first snow of 1" or more occurs on exactly this date!
