A Look at US Snow Cover

Courtesy: Intellicast
Rockford currently has 18" of snow on the ground, and snow is covering the ground from the US-Canadian border all the way down to parts of Oklahoma and Texas as of this morning. With all this snow, flooding could become a concern later this month for us and into the Spring months for areas to our north.

Temperatures could reach the upper-30s here this weekend, which will melt the snow very slowly at best. But as the month goes on, the potential for warmer weather exists which could cause quicker melting and flooding concerns. This is something we'll have to watch for in coming weeks.
