Snow Forecast

At left is a graphic showing predicted snow totals. The new model runs are just now coming out and it appears that 3-6" is too conservative for most areas. Now it looks more like 5-8", with lesser amounts south of Rochelle. The snow will begin in Freeport around 8:30am, and quickly spread to the east so that all of the area is getting snow by about 10am. It appears that the heaviest snow will fall in the middle of the afternoon. This will -- of course -- make the ride home from work tricky. Fortunately, winds should generally be less than 10 mph, which will minimize blowing and drifting snow.
