10:25 am Update: Moderate snow falling in Rockford with the visibility dropping less than two miles and less than a mile in Freeport and Monroe.  Heavier snowfall west this morning produce 2" of snow in western Stephenson County.  The snow will lighten up around Noon before another round of heavier snow moves in mid-afternoon.



9:30 am Update: Light to moderate snow will across Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin.  A little drier air has been lifting north so it's possible there may be some sleet or even freezing rain mixing with the light snow from Rochelle to DeKalb and points south through late morning before snow rotates back through early this afternoon. 








8:20am Radar Update: Moderate snow continues to fall this morning with a heavier band extending from Janesville/Beloit southwest to Pearl City.  Within these heavier snow bands visibility has dropped to less than half a mile.  Roads have become a little slick as temperatures remain below freezing.  Accumulations between 1" to 2" of snow remain likely.



Winter Weather Advisory now in effect for Jo Daviess, Stephenson, Carroll and Whiteside counties through 1pm.


A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, Ogle, Lee and DeKalb counties until 11am this morning.  Two systems - one from the south and one from the west - will impact us this morning and afternoon.  Light to moderate snow has already begun to fall and is mixing with sleet south of Rockford.  A quick one to two inches of snow/sleet accumulation on grassy and elevated surfaces will be possible before the snow winds down by mid-afternoon.  As the snow continues to fall there may be some slick spots on roadways this morning.
